Clear and luminous, the Saint-Ferdinand church does not fail to offer a fine example of a modern church from the end of the 19th century in Arachon, in an eclectic style with Romanesque tendencies that can be appreciated both inside and outside.

The church of Saint-Florin was built around 1100 and belonged to the canonical monastery of Saint-Florin. In the middle of the 14th century, the Romanesque apse of the church was replaced by a Gothic apse. In the years 1582 to 1614, the vaulting of the eastern nave followed. At the beginning of the 17th century, the bell towers were renovated. During the siege of Koblenz in 1688, during the War of the Palatinate Succession, the city was bombed by French troops. The church was badly damaged and had to be repaired between 1708 and 1711. After the secularization of the monastery in 1802, the church became the first church building in Koblenz to be consecrated as a Protestant church in the Rhineland.

The Church of Saint-Folquin is attested to the 14th century. It was later reconstructed during the 16th century.

The Saint-Georges church is located in Méallet, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The church dates back to the 12th century, and some parts of its original Romanesque constructions remain. The main part of the church was rebuilt in the fifteenth century for its reshaping of ogival style. When entering this building, one is struck by the elegance of the vaults which rest on robust ogival ribs being supported on caps representing heads. Several objects are classified as historical monuments (a holy water font, an altar-tabernacle, a chalice).
