Culture

The bell tower bears the year 1738, while the nave dates from the 18th century. The Tableau de l'Assomption de la Vierge was painted by Combette in 1829 and is a copy of Nicolas Poussin's depiction of the Assumption of the Virgin after an engraving.

The Moulin du Bas in Chapelle-Voland has been documented since 1585. The mill retains its turbine, mechanism and three pairs of millstones.

Nature

The Sentier des étangs Vaillant, du Crêt et du Fort is a 4.5-kilometre circular trail around three ponds and starts in Chapelle-Voland. A first birdwatching point on the pond trail is about 200 metres from the starting point and can be reached via a footbridge lined with reeds.

The circular trail is partially accessible to people with reduced mobility. A biotope protection order has been issued for the area covered by this circular trail to protect the site.
