Eglise notre-Dame-des-Miracles

The cult of the Black Madonna dates back to the 6th century when a Syrian colony was established in this village, then called Avenum. The primitive church (1170-1180) houses the miraculous statue of St Pol. Joan of Arc prayed before Our Lady of Miracles. It was during the religious wars that the statue was burnt and the church was ruined (1562). A new statue was inaugurated at the end of the 16th century, the same one that is being contemplated. After the Revolution, the building was restored. The church was burnt down in 1940 but nothing of the chapel was touched by the fire. A new building was built and inaugurated in 1966.
