History

The Chapelle de Glavenas is the only surviving building of a castle built in the Middle Ages by the Lords of Glavenas. A carved orientation table made of volcanic rock next to the chapel offers a beautiful view of the Yssingelais, Emblavez and the Monts du Devès. By prior arrangement, the Chapelle de Glavenas can be visited independently or as part of a guided tour.

The Moulin du Pinard presents a 19th-century agricultural grain mill and a reconstruction of the former La Galoche railway line in a landscaped setting. It can be visited independently and without a guide at any time.

Culture

The Saint-Julien parish church has a Romanesque apse, a façade dating from 1868 and a bell tower dating from 1870. The Saint-Julien parish church also houses a statue of Saint Julien.
