The church before repairs started 

News on the progress of repairing Epeigné-les-Bois' church, which dates back to the 11th Century:
 
'La couverture de la nef a été enlevée et maintenant la charpente va être déposée pour que le maçon intervienne sur le haut des murs.
 
La charpente sera alors remontée avec quelques renforcements.
 
La cloche est partie en Allemagne pour être réparée.'

Translation: 
The slates have been removed from above the nave. Now the roof timbers will be removed so that the mason can start work on the top of the walls. Once the mason's work is complete the roof timbers will be put back suitably reinforced. The church clock has been sent to Germany to be repaired.
