Things to see and do

To visit: the 12th century Romanesque church: single nave, sculpted exterior frieze.

To be seen from the outside only: the castle with its formal gardens designed by Le Nôtre (or, more likely, by his students). The bridge (over the Chassezac) built in the 13th century by the monks of Saint-Gilles, which was destroyed and rebuilt in the 16th century.
