Saint-Hippolyte
Inside the church

The collegiate church has four altars so that the canons can say several masses at the same time and the floor is paved with the tombstones of the counts of La Roche, canons of the chapter and inhabitants of the town. From 1418 to 1452, it housed the Holy Shroud to protect it from the ravages of mercenaries during the Hundred Years' War.
