NOTRE-DAME-DE-LA-NATIVITÉ CHURCH

Around 450, Roman founded a monastery in Condat (Saint-Claude) and a second, a few kilometres further, in Laucone, whose brother he entrusts to his brother, Lupicin, who died in 480. It was in the early th century that this church was erected, at a time when the village of Laucone was named Saint-Lupicin. The building built in beautiful yellow stones is the old abbey abbey. It has been reworked over the centuries but retains a very interesting novel character. A recent renovation has highlighted it well. Note above the western portal a "cross-linked" décor (in the form of net). The square steeple retained the four separated twin openings from a th century house, but its octagonal arrow dates from the th. Inside, three naves and a transept open on a chorus with a apse and two absidioles. The left wing houses the altar and socket of Saint Lupicin, which contains its relics.
