2013-08-14 Champagnolles, église Saint Pierre, Charente Maritime_DSC5736

            Under the protection of St. Pete, patron of the diocese, church Champagnolles is of great interest. It is a plan in the form of a Latin cross, which was adopted here. The single nave , transept has apses, the sanctuary ends with an apse. Outside, we particularly look at the bedside with a high arch, like that of St. Eutropius of Saintes, the walls of the north transept decorated with stones arranged in zigzag, the belfry with three levels  arches and bays, the arches structured façade, but where a Gothic door was inserted in the fifteenth century under the old Romanesque portal. The church has a beautiful series of sculptures inside, picturesque capitals characters and birds. Geometric patterns are needed at the bedside; some erotic corbels. Inside, a tabernacle altar ( eighteenth century listed January 21, 1980 ) that has been beautifully restored, regained all his gold and decorative elements. It consists of a classical altar shaped tomb painted white on which stands the Paschal lamb in gilded wood. The altar is decorated with magnificent carved motifs alternately gold and silver on a white background that contrasts with the sobriety of the lower part of the altar. The door of the tabernacle is decorated with Christ the Good Shepherd.
