his shell limestone sarcophagus. St. Gaud (400-491) has its own chapel,
built in the 19th century in the north wall of the choir, the church
being a place of pilgrimage dedicated to his worship. After fourty
years as the second bishop of Evreux, St. Gaud resigned from office to
come and retire in the solitude of Saint-Pair. St. Gaud's sarcophagus
was found in 1131 while digging the foundations of the Romanesque
tower. Photo by Alain Dermigny. [Alain-041]
