Eglise de Labarde

Beautiful objects, classified as historical monuments, are waiting to be discovered

It is said that the village of Labarde takes its name from the medieval bards, who once passed through the village singing their knightly epics. Others believe that the village is named after its famous larks (from the word bardala, meaning lark). The Saint-Martin church was built in the eighteenth century, on the medieval foundations of the millinery "de La Naude". Here, visitors follow in the footsteps of the Abbot Berland, who ordered the church's construction (and spent much of his life painstakingly mapping the Bordeaux diocese). Visitors contemplate the bold lines of this elegantly sculpted edifice, which cuts a stark figure against the Medoc sky, with its elegant double-arched bell tower. Inside the church, beautiful objects, classified as historical monuments, are waiting to be discovered...
