The parish church Saint-Exupère exists here since the 10th century, when it was part of a priory. The nave is probably the oldest part of the structure. The statute of Sainte-BArbe is some centuries younger.
Sainte-Barbe (Barbe la grande martyre), patron saint of gunsmiths, miners and anyone, who worked with explosives. She is invoked as well against thunder and lightning.
