Romanesque church.
The St Denys church hides behind its 19th c. facade, a giant Roman nave and also a beautiful Gothic heart. Woodwork and paintings of Mignard (a French artist) can be seen in the lateral sides naves. One of them overhung the altar of the Brotherhood of St-Eloi. A magnificent organ which belonged to the Lumière brothers can also be admired on the balcony at the bottom of the church.
The bell tower was originally a gardian whatchtower.
The church, was until the French Revolution the only one «important public place» where the inhabitants could gathered.
Its architecture shows the demographic evolution of the city. This place of cult, pray, refuge in wartime, was also the spot of the first Republican elections. The
Chapel located in the church houses statues of the Three Marie surrended by a pictural landscape telling the main events of the Virgin.
