"It's heartbreaking to see such a situation": why this church threatens to collapse

In Boudes (Puy-de-Dôme), the church of Saint-Loup was one of the 100 sites selected by the Heritage Lotto last year, a lottery that aims to protect the sites at risk thanks to funding, here, of the order of 290,000 euros. An unexpected financial manna to relieve the municipalities and allow the renovation of religious buildings, some of which are very dilapidated.
