L'Eglise Saint Jean Baptiste

Description

Inside the church is a lovely fresco on the harvest, which is celebrated every year in Badailhac.

Saint Jean-Baptiste parish church built on the site of an earlier church dating from 1625. The church was rebuilt in two phases: 1st phase from 1870 to 1873 by departmental architect E. Ame and contractor J.B. Dumas for the bell tower; 2nd phase from 1886 to 1887 for the false transept and choir. Despite these two phases of construction, the building displays a certain homogeneity. The entrance is via a bell tower-porch surmounted by a spire. Rectangular in plan with a single nave, the church features two side chapels and a pentagonal choir with false rib vaults. Recently restored, a large fresco depicts the harvest, celebrated every last Sunday in August.
