Église Saint-Antoine

Devastated during the Hundred Years' War, it was renovated in a flamboyant Gothic style, characterized by the rich decoration of the bays, the braced arches or the multiple-ribbed (prismatic) ribs. Burnt down during the wars of religion, it was restored again at the beginning of the 17th century. The Foucaudière church became a parish church under the dual names of Saint Sauveur and Saint Antoine.
A porch supported by two sculpted pillars houses the portal. It is surmounted by a brace above which a statue niche welcomes Saint Anthony holding a book. At the entrance, the Saint Antoine chapel belongs, with the bell tower, to the oldest part of the church. A door provides access to the eastern part of the cloister which remains. The Chapel of the Virgin is built on a crypt.
