Église Notre-Dame de la Tronchaye

Originally dating to the 10th century, this handsome church is famed for (and named after) a statue of a black Virgin Mary discovered by a shepherdess in the hollow trunk of a tree, a story depicted in some stained glass within the house of worship. Note that the pillars within the church are not straight as the church was built on a slope.
