The former 14th-century collegiate church became a grain exchange during the French Revolution and a power plant in the early 20th century. Today, it serves as a community center.

The natural waterfalls of the Tufs, formed on porous limestone rocks, offer an almost fairytale spectacle with their 15 m waterfall surrounded by lush vegetation.
