The church of St. Hilaire, situated along the road to Compostella between Poitiers and St. Jean d'Angely, was a depedency of the Benedictine priory at St. Jean. Built in pure Poitevin romanesque style, this sanctuary utilizes the triple nave with ambulatory which is characteristic of pilgrimage churches. St. Hilaire is also famous for its "horseman" sculpted above the north portal.
