Things to see and do

Built in the second half of the nineteenth century, the church of Saint-Laurent takes place on the remains of a first building of the thirteenth century. From the first building, one can still appreciate a door, as well as a black stone holy water font. The current church has a beautiful neo-Gothic architecture.

During your walks, do not miss to go to admire the grinds of Vouan, the stone sing-cock, or the gouille to death. Popular with hikers, the Voirons massif is classified Natura 2000.

A mini-golf and a bowling alley complete the leisure offer on Fillinges.
