La tombe du Général Paulin

This general, born in 1782, took part in a number of military campaigns commanded by Napoleon Bonaparte. He went on to serve as mayor of the commune for 45 years. It was he who suggested that the parish should request a donation from the State, Fine Arts Division, to decorate the church.

The painting was officially presented by Emperor Napoleon III; painted by Madame Gerbaud, it depicts Christ on the Cross.
