Saint-Robert - Saint-Robert
Once "Saint Robert" was the center of a thriving priory, dependent on the important Bendictian abbey "La Chaise-Dieu" in the Auvergne (250kms east). The priory got established here around 1080, the erection of the large pilgrim-church started soon after. The church is dedicated to Saint Robert, aka Robert de Turlande. He had founded La Chaise Dieu in 1053, and got canonized already in 1070.
This church got ruined during the Hundred Years´ War - and what can be still seen is transept, crossing tower, choir ambulatory. Where the large nave was, the parking lot stretches now. The ruins of the nave finally got demolished around.
After the French Revolution the church was used for the fabrication and storage of weapons and ammunition. It got restored within the 19th century. The village of Saint-Robert surrounding the church is one of the nicest in France - a "plus beaux villages de France".
All churches, designed and built for the pilgrims, have a similar design with choir/apse and ambulatory. Saint-Robert is sometimes compared with Saint-Pierre in Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne (70kms southeast). I do see strong parallels to churches in the Auvergne and even Burgundy. The monks from "La Chaise-Dieu" probably sent experienced architects and masons to the priory.
This damaged capital may be a bit younger, as thatones around the choir, just seen. This capital was once part of the demolished nave. Daniel in the Lion´s Den.
