Attractions

  • The church, dedicated to John the Baptist , was originally a wooden structure from the 14th century on old foundations. Around 1735 the entrances were found to be too narrow and their number doubled. From 1860 to 1885 the church underwent extensive renovations. Two aisles were built to reinforce the building after the old aisle collapsed and the church proved too small. A sacristy was added. The Italian painter Fortuni decorated the interior.
  • Up to the 17th century there were two lay monasteries in subscriptions. The building of one of the monasteries not far from the church has been preserved to this day. The writer Charles de Bordeu (1857–1926) lived in the country house and received his friends there, especially the poet Francis Jammes .
