This Saturday, August 31, hundreds of people gathered in the heart of the temple, for an afternoon of celebrations. The historic building had closed its doors for renovations.  

After five years of closure for renovations, the historic temple of Anduze welcomes its faithful again this Saturday, August 31. For this day of celebration, of religious celebration, organized by all Protestant sensibilities, the benches of the temple are full.
