Things to see and do

Built in the thirteenth century, the Church of Our Lady of the Angels is a fine example of Romanesque architecture. Listed building, it was originally attached to an abbey sold as national property in the late eighteenth century after the Revolution. Restored in the nineteenth century, the church still has a Gothic nave including Angevin early thirteenth or the oriental style domes.

It also classified the tower Moricq dates for its fifteenth century. Remains of ancient medieval fortifications, it measures more than 15 meters high and over 14 meters wide. Old keep, it is the subject of restoration.

Strolling down the streets, be sure not to appreciate the hosannière cross the thirteenth century or the flag of the Grant.
