Marson: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

The Église Saint-Nicolas in Marson combines several clearly distinguishable structural elements: its Romanesque tower appears to date from the late 11th or early 12th century, while the Renaissance portal is dated 1555. The Gothic choir has five sides and two bays. By decree of 4 December 1915, the church was classified as a Monument historique.
