Culture and History

The basin of the Villechantria fountain is octagonal, while the Villechantria washhouse is rectangular. Both structures were listed as historic monuments by a decree of 8 January 1997.

Anyone choosing Villechantria as a place to stay wants to rent a holiday apartment there.

Before 1788, the Moulin du Pont-Neuf was converted from a hemp and clover mill into a grain mill, and it was rebuilt by the Bailly family around 1847. The restored mill conveys an impression of a bygone era.

The choir of the Église St Clair dates from the 14th century; it contains a 16th-century wooden relief classified as a historic monument. The Église St Clair was built on the site of the former castle-like Saint-Maurice chapel.
