The Courlan viaduct spans the Vallière river. 338 meters long and 16 meters high, it has 16 arches. A beautiful structure to see along the Voie Bressane greenway.

This church houses the painting of “Christ in Outrage” by the famous painter Puvis de Chavannes. From the forecourt of the church you enjoy a magnificent view of the Bresse.

Swimming in the Lavorel lake is very popular during the summer. Here you can swim and enjoy this place for a picnic. A path goes around the body of water.
