Culture

In Lairière, the Église de la Nativité-de-Notre-Dame is a central place of worship.

The Chapelle St Romain was said to have healed children affected by mutism. Along the L’Ère du Temps trail, it is explained that Lairière and the hamlets of Laurio and Lauriol owe their names to former copper-mining activities. The trail runs below the Chapelle St Romain. At one point along the trail, visitors are told that red clay was once extracted here to make roof tiles. Using traces of dinosaurs, the trail conveys the geological history of the Earth.
