Les Amis du Patrimoine de Repentigny is an association dedicated to preserving and promoting the heritage of Repentigny, a small village in Calvados, France. Founded in June 2009 by local residents, it now has around sixty members. Its work focuses on the village church and its remarkable late-sixteenth-century altarpiece, described as the oldest in the Pays d’Auge. The rectangular work features a polychrome wooden bas-relief and a reverse depicting the life of Saint Martin, making it a distinctive piece of local and regional heritage.

The association supports the ongoing care of the church and the conservation and appreciation of the altarpiece. It also helps visitors and the wider public discover the site through visits, gatherings, and public events. Its website shares information about the church’s interior, the altarpiece and its imagery, restoration work, local history, Saint Martin, and the old cemetery. It also provides updates about association governance and activities. Through its heritage initiatives, the group aims to safeguard this historic landmark and make its significance better known.
