Eglise du Christ-Roi ou Saint-Géran

The Saint-Gérand church (or Christ the King church) is dedicated to Saint-Gérand, a 5th century hermit. A first church was built on this location between 1677 and 1684. It was demolished in 1904, after suffering a major fire in 1841. The current church was built in 1905, according to the plans of Canon Jean-Marie Abgrall. The bell tower-porch, on the western facade, was only equipped with its slate spire in 1992. The church houses some statues from the end of the 18th century. The Cavaillé-Coll organ was built in 1864 and given to the parish of Palais in 1875; Classified as a Historical Instrument, it benefited from a complete restoration in 1992. Finally, all of the seventeen stained glass windows, released from the Mauméjean workshops between 1930 and 1940, retrace some episodes from the New Testament.
