Description

In the early 14th century, Lestards was under the patronage of the Commandery of Saint-Antoine de Viennois. The church has Romanesque supports and barrel vaults dating from the late 12th-early 13th centuries. The cross vault in the transept square dates from the 15th or 16th century. The west entrance facade is a wall-gabled bell tower, flanked by four corner buttresses. The building has a thatched roof (unique in France). Its interior decoration (sculpted capitals) has been enhanced by recent restoration work. Free admission, 8am to 7pm. Group visits by prior arrangement all year round.
