La Villedieu-du-Clain - Saint-Jean-Baptiste

La Villedieu-du-Clain - Saint-Jean-Baptiste
The church, dedicated to Saint-Jean-Baptiste, dates from the 12th century, but got remodelled and rebuilt later. The Romanesque western facade did survive the time.

The large face is probably a spolia, as there are a couple around the church. Above are carved heads. One head belongs to a donkey playing panflute. Most medieval donkeys play the harp, this one is a specialist.
