Saint-Florent Church
Savines-le-Lac
Awarded the '20th Century Heritage' label, the shape of this church, rebuilt in 1961, evokes the prow of a boat facing the lake. Its architectural lines, choice of materials (concrete, etc.) and brightly coloured stained glass windows are the work of Achille de Panaskhet, a contemporary architect. He was also responsible for the reconstruction of Savines, a town that has been fully listed as a 20th-century heritage site.
Today, the contemporary church is an essential stop-off point for pilgrims on the Pilgrim's Routes to Santiago de Compostela and Rome.
