Vierge de Meslier

Statue of the Virgin of Meslier at Gauriaguet Legend has it that local parishioners buried this statue in a field during the wars of Religion. It was unearthed in the 17th century by an ox grazing in a coppice of gorse. Although placed twice in the church, on each occasion it was found again at the site of its discovery where a pedestal, with a recess added in the 18th century, was placed. "Notre dame de Meslier" has since become a site of pilgrimage and today there is a pilmigrimage evey 22nd August, the day of the commune's patron saint, St Symphorien
