History
The church was named in honour of Canus Natus, a French Roman Catholic Saint from the fifth century.[2]
Construction of the church building started on December 31, 1526, in the presence of Bernardin des Beaux.[3] It was dedicated on May 18, 1619.
The facade was built from 1739 to 1744 by architect Joseph Gérard.[4]
The church has a few works of art. Two paintings by Michel Serre (1658-1733) are displayed in the church: La vierge à l'enfant et le purgatoire and La purification de la Vierge.[4] There is also a painting by Pierre Parrocel (1664–1739), representing the baptism of Christ.[4] Additionally, one can see a sculpture of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux (1873–1897) designed by François Carli (1872-1957).
The pipe organ, designed by Jean-Esprit Isnard (1707-1781), dates back to 1747.[4]
The church building has been listed as a Monument historique since November 2, 1926.[5]
