The typical and aptly named "Chemin de la Fontaine" leads to a magnificent wash house, a jewel in the town centre. Its stone dome shelters the spring which swells the “Ribonneau” and “Fontenelles” streams; these form the “Brameri” which, a few kilometers further south, becomes “the Bourru”. In the 16th century, it would have carried this inscription in Latin: “I nymph of this place, guardian of this fountain, I sleep to the soft murmur of this water. Whoever you are who comes to tread on this resonant stone, respect my sleep. Drink or wash, but in silence”.

This small town of less than 400 inhabitants is located in a hilly and wooded area. It is part of one of the stages of the GR 360 long-distance footpath. It is worth going past the abbey and the church while crossing the town! Both were built at the beginning of the 12th century.

A particularity is located in the gallery of arcature which overhangs the portal. Indeed it has three arched windows on one side of the central window and two semicircular on the other. Note that the two bays on the right occupy the same width as the three on the left. The bell tower, like many others in the region, has a pyramidal roof. Simple columns come to partition the two windows which cover each face. Inside the church, archival documents prove that the nave with two bays was originally vaulted with warheads. Unfortunately, this vault was destroyed during religious wars. Still according to archival documents, it would seem that at the beginning of the 20th century, a narthex, where the catechumens were held, leaned on its facade. Today, it has completely disappeared. The church was classified as a historic monument in 1913. The building underwent a complete restoration in 1935. To admire just next to the church a magnificent and majestic period residence.
