Things to see and do

Built in the 15th century, the Saint-Martin church was enlarged in the second half of the 18th century. Highly modified over successive renovations, it still presents a beautiful sculpted Crucifix of the seventeenth century, as well as statues of St. Martin, St. Joseph, and a Virgin of the Congregation.

Also from the 15th century, the Notre-Dame de Béléan chapel is the only site registered with the Historical Monuments of the municipality. Built on the ruins of another religious building, it is in the form of a rectangular building with small square steeple. Outside, it is still possible to admire the three walls of the old ossuary now disappeared.
