Today we feature the church of Saint Gilles in Ferrière-sur-Beaulieu just outside Loches. The church is actually dedicated to 'Notre Dame' but local residents preferred Saint Gilles! The earliest part of the church,the lower half of the facade is the oldest, dating from the 11th century. The nave was added over the next century.
The choir with its vaulted ceiling and the apse were added in the 13th century. The current altar-piece is 18th century.
There is a modest side chapel within the church.
Where's Joan?
There is an unusually 'dark' Joan within the church.
