There are already slightly pointed archivolts over the romanesque portal of Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption, what is typical for the end of the 12th century. The four carved capitals are clearly Romanesque - and pretty rough. As rough as this bearded guy, hanging down head over heels on the left side of the portal´s facade.

Some of the fête´s visitors were allowed to enter the construction side. Standing inside the church made clear, that the 12th century church must have been in a really bad state before the reconstruction started. The church was built on a "Latin Cross" - and on the side were some capitals with foliage carvings - all hidden behind the scaffolding.

A village with a population of less than 200 needs special ideas, when the old parish church needs urgent repair. So there is a fundraising fête, where local products are offered and great food is served. A very relaxed sunday atmosphere, like a large summer birthday party under shady chestnut trees. Duck confit ("cuisse canard") right from the grill is only 4 Euros (incl. a baked potatoe). The price tag is fixed on to the wall of the 12th century "Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption", the church that is under reconstruction. .

The red wine produced in Fajoles was surprising, so we left Fajoles after two hours with a case of wine in the trunk of the car.
