It is the native land of Suzanne Delérablée (born on September 25th, 1770 and married on January 28th, 1797 in Epieds, and deceased with Croth on April 21st, 1811). Dr. Jacques-Desired Laval often went there to return visit to the abbot Létard, priest of this parish. The small church in the middle of the cemetery is always there. It is too large today for the small number of practitioners. There is no more priest resident. In the church one always sees the furnace bridge, the confessional and other objects dating from the time of the Father Jacques-Desired Laval. The Létard abbot was his friend and his confidant of the years of seminar and priesthood.
