« Musee des Beaux-Arts | Main | Place Antoin Poncet »
The ruins of this early Christian church were unknown until construction started on a new motorway junction at Choulans in 1976. This church was founded in the 5th-6th centuries but was known only through medieval texts and modern-day engravings. Saint Laurent was a funerary basilica built outside the town. This church was used for worship, but also had a funerary function as the numerous burial places and sarcophaguses in and around the building prove.
