At the exit of the village, you will notice the Saint-Aignan church; it was almost entirely rebuilt from 1895 onwards on the foundations of the old church after being destroyed by an unfortunate fire.

Avitus was born in Orléans and became a monk at Ménat in Auvergne. An abbot and pastor at heart, he was a model of selflessness and service. He was the third abbot of Micy (or Saint Mesmin) near Orléans. The hermit's life appealed to him, and he went to the Perche region with Saint Calais. He was a healing saint: in particular, he restored sight to a blind man and raised a dead man from the dead. His reputation grew, and his disciples encouraged him to found and build a monastery for them. He died around 530. His relics are kept at the Benedictine monastery of Saint Nicholas in Verneuil-sur-Avre.

According to biblical accounts, the apostle "Saint Jacques" was the first person to be executed for his faith, as recorded in the Acts of the Apostles, making him an early martyr (blood witness) of Christianity. His tomb in the town named after him, "Santiago de Compostela" (Galicia, Spain), is one of the most famous and important pilgrimage destinations in the world and is often ranked third after Jerusalem and Rome. Yesterday (July 25) was his feast day in the calendar of saints. When this date falls on a Sunday (this was last the case in 2021), the Catholic Church celebrates a special "Holy Year" there (extended by Pope Francis until 2022 due to the coronavirus pandemic).
