Sights

  • 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 two churches: Laon Cathedral and the abbey church in Saint-Gilles du Gard. The tympanum showing a Sedes Sapientiae is meant to celebrate the triumph of the Church (the Virgin being symbolic of the Church) upon heretics who reject the real presence in the eucharist.[5]
  • The chateau of Château-Renaud, dating from the seventeenth century.
