Local culture and heritage Places and monuments Église Saint-Eutrope-de-Saintes de Reygade It is romanesque church the has been updated in 18th century.
Chapel In a small chapel near the cemetery, behind a protective glass window, you can admire a polychrome burial of Jesus of the fifteenth century with a sound and light show commented by Jean Piat.
Neither the author nor the exact date of this masterpiece is known, but the entombment at Carennac (in the Lot) is very similar to it but in a non-polychrome form. It is impressive for the painful expression of the life-size figures, at the centre of which is the weeping Virgin Mary, supported by John the Evangelist and Mary, wife of Cleophas. On each side Salome clasps her hands and Mary Magdalene holds a vase of spices. Jesus, whose face is imbued with gentleness, is stretched out on a stone table. The shroud is supported by Joseph of Arimathea, on the right, and Nicodemus, on the left.
