The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption

Built in the 12th century, Notre-Dame de l'Assomption was restored at the end of the 19th century by Lucien Magne, one of the architects of the Sacré-Coeur de Montmartre.

The 12th-century bell tower is listed. The church also boasts two 12th-century capitals. 

The church has two capitals at the entrance to the choir, and its bell tower is listed. The baptismal font dates from the 16th century and the altar, carved in gilded wood, from the 17th century.

The church also features the epitaph of Rennequin Sualem, inventor of the Machine de Marly, Art Nouveau mosaics and a set of stained glass windows from the same period.

In the crib, which can be seen to the left of the altar, there are 400 santons, including almost 350 painted by parishioners in recent years, 17 automata... and even water flowing "for real"!
