Notre-Dame des Tables de Montpellier

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The original church of Notre Dame des Tables (whose name it received from the money-changing merchants of 12th century Montpellier) rested at the heart of the old village of Montpellier, in the Languedoc-Roussillon région of France.

It was destroyed at the end of the 16th century as a result of the French wars of religion, and later became a stopping point for pilgrims to pray at on their way to Santiago de Compostela. Now, in its crypt - a remainder from the previous church--lies an exhibition about the history of Montpellier. The Hotel de Varennes in Montpellier houses sacred chapters of the baroque church.
