The Church of Saint-Michel dates from the 11th century and has 14 stained-glass windows, most of which are signed by the glass artist Charles Borie from Le Puy-en-Velay. L’ancienne croix du cimetière is located in the church’s southern cemetery. It probably dates from between 1880 and 1890 and is decorated with grapes, wheat and a ciborium; its ornaments refer to the sacrifice of Christ and the Eucharist.
La Pierre des morts is freely accessible every day throughout the year. The stone could be a gravestone that formerly lay on a burial chamber; it bears the initials “AM” and the year “1656” and may have been dedicated to the memory of an important figure from the Diocese of Vienne.
