Attractions
Parish Church of Saint-Pantaléon
The first phase of construction, which dates from the end of the 12th or the beginning of the 13th century. seems only the yoke of the choir . The apse, however, seems to have been rebuilt. The sculptural decoration and the architecture of the southern side chapel allow it to be dated to the last decades of the 13th century. From now on the floor plan showed a transept with arms of different sizes and a single nave long house . The entrance portal to the south bears witness to work after the Hundred Years War , in the second half of the 15th century. A bell was made in Cahors in 1470 in the workshop of the foundry Pierre Rahard from Aurillac . The date when the nave was doubled by enlarging the transept is unknown. Extensive work was carried out around 1886, including the vaults of the two church naves.
The bell tower is the distinctive element of the church. It rises on the east side on the yoke of the choir and shows two rows of arched or pointed arched window openings. The top level, reinforced with battlements , was demonstrably added later. The polygonal apse shows the beginnings of an arch and possibly remnants of the original building. The built-in stone on the outer walls shows which part belongs to the older ones, especially during the original expansion of the northern arm of the transept. The entrance portal , which is open to the south, shows typical characteristics of the 15th century with its keel-arch frieze and its crossed rod decoration . It replaced an earlier portal, of which only the remainder of a vestment remains on the left. The arched entrance portal on the north side, on the other hand, is modern with a bulge on the corners. The appearance inside the church reflects the mixed architectural features on the outside. The triumphal arch is the result of a construction measure that was possibly made necessary by the bell tower. The yoke of the choir is equipped with a barrel vault and has retained the vaults of its two windows. The curvature of the northern window shows garlands of segments of a bead. The south arm of the transept is the least modified part. It is equipped with a ribbed vault , the transverse arches of which fall on small spars and the diagonal arches on sculptural capitals . The keystone bears a coat of arms. The remains of the north arm of the transept suggest that it featured similar architecture and decorations.
The church has been inscribed as a Monument historique since October 9, 1925 .

Sanctuary
Parish Church of Saint-Martial
The parish of Saint-Martial was a branch of Saint-Pantaléon. The oldest architectural elements of the relatively small church date from the end of the 12th or the beginning of the 13th century. A decree from 1703 in favor of Gabriel de Testas de Folmont shows that he had the chapel rebuilt at the end of the 17th century , which had previously been in ruins for several centuries. The entrance portal could come from this time. An engraving on the step to the altar shows the year "1747". The top level of the bell tower was not built before the 19th century. The church is built with ashlar . Your vault is the original with a boiler vault and a barrel vault in the choir and a pointed barrel vault without a belt arch above the nave, of which the remains of fighters and arches can be seen on the side walls. The wall opening of a former portal on the south side is now covered by a buttress . Today's entrance with an oculus is at the foot of the bell tower on the west side. A single corbel and a stone embedded in the vault in the straight yoke of the choir are decorated with a human head.
