- Church dedicated to Francis de Sales . A simple church elsewhere is listed on the 1834 cadastre, which is believed to have been built after 1775. In 1885, the municipality decided to replace the building, which was in ruins, in a place closer to the center of the village. Today's church contains many objects worth seeing that are registered as national cultural assets. The stained glass windows are the work of the glass painter Pierre-Gustave Dagrand and were used in 1887 and 1888. They show the patron saint of the church, Francis de Sales, St. John and St. Michael , with his left foot placed on the defeated devil and his right hand resting on the shoulder of a kneeling canon.
