Pagode Phàp-Vuong-Tù

Pagode Phàp-Vuong-Tù is a Buddhist temple in Noyant-d'Allier featuring multiple statues, including a reclining Buddha and several Bodhisattvas positioned along a garden pathway. The buildings and grounds are arranged to provide space for prayer and contemplation.

The pagoda was built in 1983 in a former mining town where French citizens repatriated from Indochina had settled during the 1950s. The temple was created to serve the religious needs of this community.

The temple serves as a gathering place for Buddhist ceremonies and meditation practices within the local Asian community. The spaces are arranged with altars and religious objects that shape daily activity at the site.

The temple is accessible during warmer months and welcomes visitors at set times during afternoon and early evening hours. Entry is free for both the temple and gardens, making it easy to explore the grounds at your own pace.

The site contains a columbarium for Buddhist ashes and displays statues depicting different moments from Buddha's life and his reincarnations. These artworks tell the spiritual journey of Buddha through various representations.
