Places and monuments

Holy Church Fauste : Romance church of the 12th century, built pink sandstone on the rock headland of the site. It includes/understands a nave of 5 spans and two collateral narrow forts and a chorus surrounded by a déambulatoire. The collateral ones were built later on to support the walls. Indeed, the mass of the vault started to draw aside the top of the walls. By observing the vault well, one notices well that the verticality of the walls is not perfect.
