Saint-Firmin: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
Culture and History
At the edge of the former Roman road from Autun to Tournus via Saint-Sernin-du-Bois stands the Caillots menhir. It was re-erected in March 1984. The menhir can be reached northwest of the hamlet of Grand Croix: there, take the first road on the right; it stands 250 metres before the houses.
The Pierre de Champiteau is a granite slab set into the ground behind the buildings of a farm. Justice was once administered beside it. In historical records, it also appears in 1409 as Grande Bourne de Champital and in 1525 as Grande Bonde.
The church of Saint-Firmin houses a statue of Saint Firmin from the 15th century. It is made of carved, polychrome-painted wood and was registered as a protected movable cultural heritage object on 14 October 1996.
The church was originally dedicated to Saint Martin. In the 15th century, it was given the name Saint-Firmin on the occasion of the transfer of Saint Firmin’s relics to the village church. In 1767, it was extensively restored thanks to the last prior, J. B. Augustin de Salignac-Fénelon. In the mid-19th century, it was remodelled; in 1868, a northern side chapel and a sacristy aligned with the sanctuary were added.
