The Church of Saint-Martin stands on the site of the former castle chapel and dates from the 12th and 16th centuries. It features a ribbed vault in the shape of a rosette and a bell tower with green, scale-shaped tiles. Rue de la Pierre is designated as a calade dating from 1621. The Orgue de Dauphin is unique of its kind.
