Sights
- The twelfth-century church of Notre-Dame. The twelfth-century church of Notre-Dame, with its exceptionally tall tower-porch was built after the siege of 1108 by Louis VI the Fat [3] as a symbol of the Capetian « Pax Dei ».[4] The inconographic program of its inner portal of 1215 is inherited from the North porch of the West portal of the abbey church in Saint-Gilles du Gard and the North porch of the West portal of the Laon Cathedral. The tympanum showing a Sedes Sapientiae is meant to celebrate the triumph of the Church (the Virgin being symbolic of the Church) upon the heretics whose common point is to reject the real presence in the eucharist.[5]
- The chateau of Château-Renaud, dating from the seventeenth century.
