Culture
The Church of Saint-Pierre-es-Liens has been listed as a Monument historique since 2001. It has exclusively contemporary stained-glass windows: the windows in the choir date from 1964, while the window on the west façade was created in June 2005. Its north portal consists of large-format granite masonry and is designed in the Limousin Gothic style.
The Church of Saint-Pierre-Aux-Liens has a single-nave layout with three bays. Pont Binot is a 15-metre-long bridge built in 1853, with four arches made of granite from the region. At the Ancienne Bascule, the weighing mechanism and the platform for trailers and livestock have been preserved to this day. The Fontaine Gaillard has a square layout reminiscent of the Moorish style.
