Ibos: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

In the village of Ibos, which is arranged in a circular layout around its collegiate church, the nave of Église Saint-Laurent dates from the 14th century. The upper galleries of Église Saint-Laurent recall the building’s military use during the Wars of Religion. The Collégiale Saint-Laurent also has an unusually large apse in relation to the nave.

Renting a holiday apartment in Ibos can be part of your personal holiday planning.
