Culture and History
The present-day parish church of Sainte-Euphémie was built in 1874 and 1875 by the Lyon architect Jean-Marie Thoubillon; parts of the materials from the former church were reused in the process.
Those considering Sainte-Euphémie as a place to stay may wish to rent a holiday apartment.
The Tour du Boujard inspired the painter Maurice Utrillo, who depicted it in a gouache on paper in September 1929. The Tour du Boujard is also depicted on the coat of arms of the municipality of Sainte-Euphémie.
The church of Sainte-Euphémie stands on a landscaped terrace above the town centre; it faces south rather than west.
Inside, the church of Sainte-Euphémie contains a large mural on a golden mosaic background depicting Christ, the twelve apostles, and twelve saints or martyrs.
The Croix du Machard stands at the side of the departmental road CD 88, at the entrance to an unpaved path leading to the hamlet of Roussillon.
The front of the Croix du Machard depicts Christ on the cross with a titulus plaque above; on the back is a Madonna and Child.
The Croix du Machard probably dates from the second half of the 17th century.
The Château du Boujard estate includes a park, a chapel, a dovecote, a farm, and a well.
The Boujard estate was elevated to a fief by a patent issued by the Duchess of Montpensier on 21 September 1651.
