Culture and History

The Church of Saint-Caprais in Agris has been listed as a historic monument since 27 February 1925. Its origins are attributed to the 12th, 13th and 14th centuries. Near the entrance, a narrow staircase flanked by loopholes leads to the vault.

Fragments of a Celtic helmet from the 4th century BC were discovered in the Grotte des Perrats. Until the 3rd century AD, the Grotte des Perrats initially served as a Gallic and subsequently as a Roman sanctuary.

The Croix de la Tuillère is a 6.35-metre-high stone wayside cross and has been protected as a historic monument since 1986. Beneath the market hall on Place de la Grange are a limestone mill and a press, which were probably used to produce walnut oil.
