Culture and history
The present-day Église Saint-Martin was built from 1856 on the initiative of the parish priest at the time, Isidore Le Provost, and consecrated in 1876. Its interior panelling is listed in the supplementary inventory of church furnishings. The bell tower remained unfinished; the hewn stones intended for it are still visible beneath the large yew tree in the cemetery.
The site of the Grotte du Val originally contained two mills. The Grotte du Val was created in 1898 from stones from former mills, with the help of the local population. It remains a place of worship visited by the faithful.
In the past, the Grotte du Val was open to the public; visitors came because of its religious character and its quiet, relaxing surroundings.
The Calvaire de l’If was formerly associated with religious processions for harvest celebrations, on Rogation Days and for Corpus Christi.
