The Chapelle Saint-Claude is a historic monument dating from the 15th century and is located in the hamlet of La Bâtie. The Église Saint-Laurent is also classified as a historic monument. Its south wall features frescoes depicting the seven deadly sins and their punishments.
The interior of the Église Saint-Laurent can be visited if you request the key from the Mairie. It contains depictions of the divine presence, Isaiah, Christ enthroned, the Tetramorph and the Coronation of the Virgin.
