L'église St-Jean-Baptiste

The Reposoir church has the same architect as that of Saint-Sigismond: the Red priest. Built in 1849 on a Greek cross plan, it did not have a bell tower due to lack of resources.

In 1888, the church, considered too small for 430 inhabitants, was enlarged and the Latin cross plan was adopted. The wooden belfry was replaced by the current bell tower and the work was financed by the Carthusians.
Inside, you will see 8 stained glass windows made by the Bessac factory in Grenoble and the statue of Blessed John of Spain.
