The small village of Lentilles, in the Aube region, has the finest example of a timber-framed church in Champagne. With its pointed spire with four levels of sound absorbers, its two separate roofs and its gable trimmed with chestnut wood scales, the church of Saint-Jacques-et-Saint-Philippe (St. James and St. Philip) is quite remarkable. In this region of bocage and forest where building stone is scarce but the subsoil is rich in clay, the builders of the 16th century used the most common materials of rural architecture to construct their religious buildings: wood and cob, a mixture of clay and straw.
