This impressive church is located right in the centre.

This church was built in the 11th century, expanded in the 15th and 16th centuries, restored in the 20th century, and its porch dates from the 18th century. The porch, with its pediment, gives visitors no clue that they are entering a thousand-year-old Romanesque nave. The two western bays are vaulted, like the entire building in the 15th and 16th centuries, with ribbed vaults.
