The village


SAINT-MARTIN CHURCH
The original XII century roman church has been transformed through the ages. It was pillaged in 1561 by the Huguenots and layed abandoned for two centuries. Hence where did the Catholics worshipped at the time of Jacques Laporte's baptism?

Statue of an unknown saint saved from the pillage and re-installed
in a niche made for a larger statue, on the abutment of the steeple.

There are many manors built during the XIV to the XVI centuries in the area, the most famous being Courboyer shown below.
