This church houses the painting of “Christ in Outrage” by the famous painter Puvis de Chavannes. From the forecourt of the church you enjoy a magnificent view of the Bresse.

Swimming in the Lavorel lake is very popular during the summer. Here you can swim and enjoy this place for a picnic. A path goes around the body of water.

The Roman roads of Revermont make it possible to make the connection between various cities and nearby ancient agglomerations (Bourg-en-Bresse, Coligny, Lons-le-Saunier). Difficult to date and little studied, this building was the subject of a vast restoration campaign in the 1980s carried out by volunteers, which today allows us to walk in the footsteps of our ancestors. You can discover the traces left by the passage of wheels in the cobblestones and enjoy the shaded path that leads to the Montagna belvedere.

This feudal castle with its three successive gates furnished with towers and drawbridges and its wide moats separated by a thick wall, was built in the 12th century by the lords of Coligny, descendants of the counts of Burgundy. This place now hosts ceremonies and other festivities.
