Lentilles, Aube, Grand Est, France: the église Saint-Jacques-et-Saint-Philippe, the parish church serving this small village, dates from around 1512 and is regarded as one of the most beautiful and most typical of the historic half-timbered or timber-framed churches in the Champagne region. The tiled west porch, west gable, upper west facade and the octagonal belfry are all clad in wooden shingles. The church's slender shape is emphasised by the absence of any transepts and also by its design, with the porch roof linked to the tiled roofs of the side-aisles. The porch is surmounted by a stone statue of the patron saint, Saint James the Great. The structure is supported by massive oak timbers, with the interior partly lit by an unusual architectural feature for this area: circular windows or oculi above the bays in the polygonal choir. They retain remnants of original 16th century stained or painted glass created by craftsmen and artists in the workshops of the nearby city of Troyes. The diamond-panelled church ceiling was discovered in the 1970s, when a 19th century false plaster vault was removed. The church at Lentilles is a main attraction on the "Route des églises à pans de bois", a signposted tour of 15 villages in the peaceful Pays du Der countryside south of the Lac du Der, all with timber-framed churches, chapels, houses and farms. The religious buildings were constructed between the late-1400s and the 18th century. D1039.B2395
