The church of Saint-Philibert-de-Grand-Lieu is an interesting and rare survival of a Carolingian building, dating from 814-39 AD. It was a monastic church and a place of pilgrimage until 858, when it was sacked by the Vikings and abandoned. The original sarcophagus of St. Philibert, installed in 839, can still be seen in the crypt. www.sacred-destinations.com/france/st-philibert-de-gran...
