Church open to the public (subject to reservation) every day in July-August and on weekends from April to June. Historical details in the building.
The church contains a 17th century altarpiece at the high altar and statues of bishops. A second altarpiece is dedicated to the Virgin. The parish had as an annex the chapel of Saint-Hippolyte, which was destroyed a long time ago in place of the present statue of the Virgin near the cemetery. An ancient sarcophagus can also be seen in the cemetery. In the village, a rustic monument to the dead, made of 3 large stones, pays homage to 3 men of the parish killed on 18 June 1944 by a German column. Traduction automatique par DeepL via DATAtourisme
