The excavation at Saint-Philibert Church has uncovered centuries of history, revealing layers of burials and architectural remains from late antiquity to the modern era.
During the excavation, archaeologists found wooden coffins from the 14th to 18th centuries, suggesting the site was extensively used for burials and holds significant historical value.
The discovery of earlier stone slab tombs from the 11th-13th centuries beneath a vaulted burial site highlights the church's extensive historical significance and the evolution of its use over time.
Salt storage in the 18th and 19th centuries weakened the church's foundations, exacerbated by a heated concrete slab, causing ongoing damage that complicates preservation efforts.
