This village, typical of the Toulouse region with its bell tower featuring a triangular gable and its brick houses clustered around the village square, was endowed with a Benedictine priory in 940 and subsequently became the property of the Jourdain de l’Isle family in the 12th century. The church, rebuilt in the 19th century using a ‘sandwich’ construction of bricks and pebbles, was dedicated to Saint Orens, Bishop of Auch in the 4th century. At that time, Abbot Gilard immortalised the faces of the parishioners in the church’s frescoes.
