La Celle - Saint-Blaise
The Benedictian abbey Notre Dame in Déols had established a priory here in the 11th century. Located in the center of La Celle (pop 350) is Saint Blaise, the fromer priory´s church. It was erected in two phases (from east to west) during the 12th century. Flying buttresses had to be added in the 18th century, when the structure started to crack.

Here are some extraordinary, complex carvings. This one probably refers to one outside the apse (previous uploads), as here again are two men with fork beards. "Connected" by the split tongue of a lion. Fork beards were a "bad sign" in medieval times.
As quarries near the village were already used since Roman times, some stone mason masters may have worked here in medieval times.
St. Blasie, one of the "Fourteen Holy Helpers", is the parton saint for stone masons and carvers. Today he is better known for the "Blessing of the Throats", celebrated on he Feast of Saint Blasie (February 3.).
