Notre-Dame is the parish church of Biron, a village 6kms east of Pons. Once the church was dedicated to Saint-Eutrope as a relic of "Saint Eutropius of Saintes", who came to the region to evangelize the Gauls in the 3rd century, was kept here. Erected within the 12th century the church got fortified soon after. During the 15th/16th century it got enlarged, the apse got vaulted and a chapel was added. Ray (adfinem) did a comparative study and found out that the portals of the churches in Olcoz and Eunate (Northern Spain) are almost identical to the portal in Biron. www.flickr.com/photos/adfinem/7273063248/in/photolist-xFA... Here is one of the creatures, that are identical in Olcoz and Eunate 400kms south. The "Via Turonensis" had numerous sidetracks that all crossed this area, Olcoz and Eunate are on the "Aragonés" - and are close to Puente de Reina, where the "Camino Aragonés" ends in the "Camino Francés".
