Culture
The Roman Bridge has been classified as a historic monument since 1958. Its architecture and its setting against the backdrop of the Gorges de la Voueize have long attracted painters, who have frequently depicted it.
The Sainte-Valérie Fountain, also known as “la Bonne Fontaine”, contains a miraculous spring. The site continues to be visited: a statue of the Virgin Mary stands in the niche, with flowers laid at its feet, and water emerges at ground level from a monolith.
