Saint Preuil: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
Accommodation in Saint Preuil
Saint-Preuil showcases its history at the Église Saint-Projet and combines it with woodland, winegrowing and trails leading to rural heritage sites. The church was built at the end of the 13th century. It was remodelled in the 15th century, when its bell tower was also built. The three upper openings in its façade feature modern stained-glass windows in various shades of blue.
