Eglise Saint Barthelemy à Mazières

5 km from Villeréal, a 13th-century fortified town famous for its multi-storey market hall and fortified church, stop off in the small village of Mazières, which joined the commune of Naresse in the early 19th century. This village in the Dropt valley has undertaken the restoration of the church of Saint-Barthélémy, which was closed for a long time due to water seeping through the roof. Since 2008, you've been able to rediscover this 15th-century edifice built on much older foundations. Surrounded by orchards, the church welcomes you with its bell tower and two bells. As you enter, you are sure to marvel at the deep blue 19th-century starry sky that adorns the nave, choir and chapel. It's an unusual decoration in Lot-et-Garonne, remarkable for its homogeneity and extent. The commune has also restored the stained glass windows.
