Le Douhet - Saint-Martial

Le Douhet - Saint-Martial
In the center of Le Douhet, a village just 12 kms north east of Saintes, is Saint Martial, a 12th century structure, that had to be stabilized by buttresses within the 15th century, when a steeple was built.

The western facade is richly decorated with friezes and archivolts over the portal and the flanking blind arches. Here is the frieze near the wooden door. On the right side is a lion tamer, the left person seems to play with a large snake.
