Other sight

The retable was restored in 1927 by the sculptor lodévois Paul Dardé.

On the high part, one sees the Annunciation, the Visitation, the Nativity, the advertisement with the shepherds.
On the low part, one sees the Worship of the magi, the Massacre of the innocent, the Presentation of Jesus to the temple.

The department of Herault preserves only two medieval retables, made of stone.
The other retable is in the Saint-Martin church, in the commune of Caylar, on the plateau of Larzac.

In XIe century Saint-Fulcran bishop of Lodéve made raise a church, on this point of passage between the plain and the plate of Larzac.
Sainte-Vierge prayed here, made wonders and cures of dumb people. (Parlatges means language).
One comes again to ask here assistance and for protection for those which have difficulties of elocution. A pélérinage takes place each year about Sunday close to September 8.

Saint-Pierre-de-la-Fage is a French commune located in the department of Herault, the Languedoc-Roussillon area, populated of 87 Saint-Pierrais, distributed on 19 km², that is to say 5 hab./km².
