Things to see and do

Partly listed as a historic monument, the fortified house of La Sauffaz was built in the 15th century. Farmed in the course of the seventeenth, it is in the form of a quadrangular home with a round tower leveled in one of its corners. On the first floor, it is possible to admire a prestigious room with beautiful murals dedicated to Nine Preux and dating back to the sixteenth century. Not far away, do not miss to admire the exteriors of the strong house of Blanly.

Built in the mid-nineteenth century and restored a century later, the church Saint-Félix reveals a beautiful neoclassical style with three naves.

A place of rest and reproduction for birds, the ponds of Crosagny have also become an important tourist site. Labeled Natura 2000, this ornithological reserve reveals a flora typical of the region and hosts many animal species. On the banks, an observatory is available to discover them without disturbing them. You can also admire a mill of the seventeenth century whose bucket wheel still works.
