The parish church Saint-Exupère exists here since the 10th century, when it was part of a priory. The nave is probably the oldest part of the structure, as old as this stoup. The holy water is guarded by a stoic man´s cold face.

The parish church Saint-Exupère exists here since the 10th century, when it was part of a priory. The nave is probably the oldest part of the structure. The statute of Sainte-BArbe is some centuries younger. Sainte-Barbe (Barbe la grande martyre), patron saint of gunsmiths, miners and anyone, who worked with explosives. She is invoked as well against thunder and lightning.

Early morning in Gahard, but fortunately the parish church Saint-Exupère was opened already. The church, that already exists here since the 10th century, was part of a priory in medieval times. After the French Revolution an iron tricolore was placed on the roof.
