The Saint-Martin church stands on Gallo-Roman remains. The first constructions date from the 12th century, including the side door made of pink Préty stone. Victim of looting, fires and lightning, the church was renovated many times thanks to donations from the wealthy families of the village.

This huge rooster 🐓 made of stainless steel stands right on the D975 in Mantenay-Montlin. The famous Bresse chickens come from this region.

This is a witness to the manufacture of carrons, these characteristic bricks for construction in the Bresse and Dombes. The carrons were stored here to dry before going into the kiln and put to cool. It is from this carronnière that the carrons used for the construction of various buildings in Romenay (gate, watchtower, etc.) originate.
