SAN MARTIN CHURCH

The St Martin's Church of Nanc is worth a visit. Dating back to the th century, it is of late Gothic style. What is particularly important is inside: Des paintings painted in 1897 by Abbot Moirod (1862-1920). A son of a family of modest winemakers of Nanc, this priest places his talents as a painter at the service of faith and makes for the churches of the region many paintings influenced by Puvis de Chavanne. On the bedside, a canvas painted represents the charity of Saint Martin, patron of the parish. And around the choir, four paintings evoke the Legend of Our Lady of Good Reunion. On the canvas representing the Pilgrimage of Notre-Dame de Bon-Reunion, are represented the inhabitants of the village of the day and the priest-artist. Other curiosity not to be missed: the statuette of a "Virgin to Respite", which allowed the stillborn children to receive baptism.
