Percy: Holiday apartments and holiday homes
Culture
The Church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste in Percy was rebuilt on the site of an earlier 13th-century church. Construction took place in two phases: the nave, side aisles and bell tower were built from 1903 to 1905, while the choir, ambulatory and sacristy were built from 1928 to 1932 according to plans by the architects Pillloud and Cheftel.

The Chapelle de la Vérablière was authorised in 1720 by Monseigneur de Matignon and is dedicated to Saint Hubert. During the French Revolution, it became a secret shrine; in 1992, M. Lebouvier restored the chapel.
The Chapelle du Mesnil-Céron dates back to at least the 13th century. It was a pilgrimage site for dental ailments and is dedicated to Saint Apollonia.
