The church of Saint-Avre preserves Romanesque reliefs on its exterior façade and a Romanesque bell tower. The church also contains two statues of Saint Peter and Saint Avre dating from 1682. At the entrance to Saint-Avre, a mining cart is on display as a preserved testimony to Saint-Avre’s mining past. Along the Nantuel mountain stream, veins of lead, copper and zinc have been exploited since Roman times and later under the Saracens.
