Parish Church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste

The parish church dedicated to John the Baptist was built in 1929 by Henri Sajous and Charles Hébrard. It replaced the former parish church, the maintenance of which was neglected and repairs were considered inadequate, so that in December 1926 its demolition was decided. The new church took up the architectural style of the previous church. It has a nave with three naves . The choir with arched windows is flanked in the south by a sacristy . The aisles open to the main nave through arched arcades with coupled columns , the capitals of which are sculptured. The arched windows of the church alternate on the outside with beveled buttresses . The west facade consists of an arched entrance and an oculus above , which are framed by two massive buttresses. Above it rises the bell tower with arched sound openings.
