The Church of Saint-Martin has a large oculus, a bell gable and the Marie-Madeleine bell on its façade.
The door of the Church of Saint-Martin bears the inscription “On m’a rétablie tout à neuf en l’an 1789” in capital letters, documenting a restoration in 1789.
Small crosses engraved by pilgrims on the Way of St. James can be seen behind the Church of Saint-Martin.
