Village of Paley

Highlight • Other

Village located at the crossroads of two ancient Roman roads. Castle built in the 12th century, partly destroyed by the English under Charles VII and heavily restored in the 19th century.
The church, topped with a weather vane representing St George, has a pediment on which one can read the religious precepts during the French Revolution.

Paley Village

Highlight • Settlement

Small "picturesque" village, a church, a castle, a wash house, meadows, cows, nothing extraordinary, but it's pretty!

Church and Castle of Paley

Highlight • Other

The notable characteristic of this 12th century church (in my humble opinion) resides in this inscription engraved on the frontispiece of the entry "The French people recognize the Supreme Being and the immortality of the soul". This inscription dates from 1794 at a time when the old religions were suppressed in favor of the cult of Reason (fall 1793-spring 1794) then the cult of the Supreme Being (spring 1794-summer 1794), and finally Theophilanthropy .
In the spring of 1794, Robespierre and his colleagues from the Committee of Public Safety had the Hébertists successively arrested, then Danton and the Indulgents, measures followed by the condemnation and execution of the leaders of the two "factions". He then contributes to putting an end to the policy of dechristianization and makes vote, as rapporteur, the decree of 18 Floréal Year II, by which "the French people recognize the existence of the supreme being and the immortality of the soul. ".
A very small number of churches throughout France have kept track of this period.

St Anne's Church, Lorrez

Highlight • Other

Dating from the 13th century, it dominates the village and was an integral part of the fortifications, hence its massive and fortified appearance. You can see it for miles around.
