Created
in 2003, on
the initiative of the local community and supporters, the
objective of our
non-profit association is to ensure that Saint Calixte
is saved and maintained for the benefit and enjoyment of
future
generations. The community of
Cazaux-Fréchet-Anéran-Camors groups togethter six
hamlets, each with its own church or a chapel, a rich but expensive
heritage.
To
this end, we gather
around the church every summer with our "Beaurtiful
Mondays of Saint Calixte". These occasions present the
opportunity for
you, and your family, to come and join us to visit the church and learn
more about the legend of the Saint. Our doors are also opened during
European Heritage Days,
the local "Heritage of
Country" event and, by
appointment, for visits
by groups all year round.
Our
objective : to become known for our builiding and to participate in its
restoration.
Works have already been taking
place for several years. These important and expensive
renovations and detailed here
As
a result of these initial works we are lucky to know have, at that
moment, a healthy and
watertight building. The ceiling can now be found
to represent the magnificence of former days.
The
outer sanitation works
were a source of surprise.
Indeed they lead to
the discovery around the
church of graves from the 13th Century. These
are in good state of preservation, among which can be found one of a
child.
At present there remains much works to do.
The details and estimates
for these outstanding projects are listed here
All the works were overseen by the
D.R.A.C.
The works made in 2007
were the installation of
a lightning conductor and the update of the electric system.
