Saint-Sauvant - Saint-Sylvain

Saint-Sauvant - Saint-Sylvain
Since the 12th century Saint-Sylvain towers on a promontory overlooking Saint-Sauvant, a village loctaed between Cognac and Saintes. The church, erected on a Latin-Cross-plan, is a typical example for the "style saintongue". All around the apse are lots of corbels.

One of them depicts this ancestor of Mickey Mouse.

As far as I know, Walt Disney, who claimed to be Mickey´s father, has been in France for about 10 months just after WWI. But has young Mr. Disney ever visited Saint-Sauvant?
