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.[3]: 222 

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.[4]: 74 

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.[5] 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.[3]: 222  On each side Salome clasps her hands and Mary Magdalene holds a vase of spices.[3]: 222  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.[3]: 222
