Imposing complex which is worth a visit.

Its foundation is attested as early as the 6th century. The church was demolished and rebuilt several times; the current Jesuit-style building dates from the early 18th century. During the Revolution, after the church was deconsecrated, all of its interior furnishings were sold at auction. Then, the church itself met the same fate.

Right at the entrance to the town: The factory has been falling into disrepair for years - no one was working here in 2019. But there is a good restaurant here in the town! : straight on to the roundabout, turn at the roundabout at 11:00, then about 50 meters - on the left - “Laissey-vous tenter” - very nice and good!
