Culture
The Church of Saint-Didier stands on a rock above the Miodet and was founded in 1052 by Robert de Turlande, the founder of La Chaise-Dieu Abbey. Its construction began in the 12th century in the Romanesque style. The church has a wide nave with two bays and a large apse illuminated by the stained-glass windows of the ambulatory chapels.
Château des Martinanches dates from the 11th, 15th and 18th centuries and is fully furnished with furniture from the Louis XIII, Louis XIV, Louis XV, Louis XVI and Empire periods. It is located at the bottom of a valley in a park and is surrounded by moats.
The Moulin à farine de Graveyroux is still operating as a grain mill; visitors are advised to enquire in advance.
