Martin M. Miles' photos with the keyword: clocher tors

Saint-Martin was the first church in Coussay-les-Bois. It was erected from 1099 on and so is nearly a century even older than the much larger church Notre-Dame, seen in the background. The church was sold as national property after the French Revolution, but meanwhile serves the protestant parish - and was locked, when I tried to enter. It has a nice twisted steeple - "clocher tors".

The parish church Saint-Jean-Baptiste was once a Collegiate church. It is known for it´s spectacular steeple. Barran, once founded as a "bastide", has a very nice market hall, perfect for a little rest.
