Saint-Germain: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
The Vallée des Fresques includes the Church of Saint-Germain d’Auxerre in Saint-Germain. What these buildings have in common is that their wall paintings were created in different periods and continue an earlier tradition of decorating wall surfaces with painted decorations.
Culture and History
The Church of Saint-Germain is a Romanesque church dedicated to Saint-Germain l’Auxerrois. In the 19th century, it was decorated with painted elements in polychrome and grisaille. The grisaille paintings depict scenes from the life of Saint Germain, the Bishop of Auxerre.
The guided tours of the Vallée des Fresques include the Sainte-Catherine Chapel in Jouhet, as well as the churches of Antigny and Saint-Germain.
Another historic monument is the old Vieux Pont de Saint-Germain et Saint-Savin bridge. It can be visited free of charge and was built at the end of the 13th or beginning of the 14th century. The bridge connects Saint-Germain and Saint-Savin and crosses the waters of the Gartempe.
