La Rochette: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Notre-Dame de la Visitation, the oldest building in La Rochette, is located in the town. The Gothic church dates from the late 13th century, was extensively remodeled in the 19th century, and has been restored more recently. Its surviving features include walls and windows with pointed arches dating from the 13th century. The 19th-century chestnut-wood ceiling was faithfully renewed in 1990. The church also features colorful stained-glass windows installed in 1983 on the biblical theme of the Creation of the World.

The Château de La Rochette was built between 1772 and 1778 for François-Thomas Moreau, the inspector general of the royal tree nurseries. The plans were drawn up by the architect Victor Louis. La Petite Rochette is a neoclassical residential building made of white stone and built in 1890.
