Culture and History
The Romanesque Sainte-Marie-Madeleine Church was built during the rule of the De Rochas family and completed in 1555. It was built above the village on the ruins of an earlier religious building.
Sainte-Marie-Madeleine Church is open during events such as the Journées du Patrimoine in September and the Fête de la musique in June; a mass is also celebrated there in July on the occasion of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine.
Saint-Jean is a pleasant area for walks with the ruins of a church built at the end of the 11th century. The Saint-Jean site was probably already inhabited since the Neolithic period and developed a funerary function over the centuries.
Paths
Le Vieil Aiglun can be reached by road or via a path starting from Avenue Jouve, which continues via Saint-Jean to Le Puy.
