Eglise Saint-Michel

With the exception of the aisles and porch, the church is classified as a Historic Monument. The chevet and central nave date from the 15th and 16th centuries, while the aisles date from the 19th century. Its bell-wall is the most remarkable in the region. It rests on imposing buttresses joined by an arch supporting a balcony, and its pediment is pierced by 5 arcades. The basket-handle west portal dates from the 16th century, a period of transition between Gothic and Renaissance art. Its five voussoirs are filled with real or imaginary animals and figures set in foliage. Three statues represent Saints Michel, Loup and Laurent. Magnificent trompe-l'oeil architectural decoration.
