Corme-Écluse (French pronunciation: [kɔʁm eklyz]) is a commune in the Charente-Maritime department in southwestern France. The village is noteworthy for its Romanesque church of the eleventh century, with a single nave and transepts with ogival vaulting. The massive crossing tower is supported on a vaulted cupola on pendentives. The richly sculptural west front, with a porch of three bays and an arcade above, was restored about 1860.
