Saint-Jouin Church of Dancé
Highlight • Religious Site
It is made up of 4 aligned chapels. Its beautiful entrance porch is in Renaissance style with Florentine decor. On the bell tower there is a cross on each side surmounted by a rooster and the other by a hen. If you ask the inhabitants of Dancé why, they will answer you with a smile and a play on words:
“because it takes two to dance”
The altarpiece dates from the 18th century and the sacristy door is in the Louis XIII style. The choir has a large wooden altar painted in the Louis XV style.
In the heart appears a wall plaque in memory of Blessed Jacques Jean Lemeunier (1747-1792), vicar in Dancé from 1783 to 1786.
We can see a statue of Saint Barbara in polychrome terracotta. The modern stained glass windows are by Paul Bony.
