Saint Marcel is the parish church of Bayet, a small village north of Broût-Vernet. The church underwent some major reconstructions, but the three apses still seem to be left in the original state. There are some interesting corbels here. These marks can often be seen near the portals of old churches. Maybe the villagers have sharpened their knives here over the centuries, so the marks got deeper and deeper. The stick-figures, seen under the roof of the apses, may be carved graffitis. This little face on the right is a carved graffiti. For sure.

There are some interesting corbels here. The animal head on that corbel can be seen very often, that is pretty "normal". Special here is, that somebody has carved a small four-legged animal on the side. A dog maybe. Under the roof again the grafitti-like stick-figures. The right figure shows a praying ( triumphing?) gesture.

There are some interesting corbels here. A very busty lady. Actually this is not very typical for the 12th century. The corbel obvously got "repaired" with some kind of concrete. The upper part of the bust, incl. that "curly hair" on the left and the complete top part seem to be recent.
