This church dates from the 12th century. It was restored around 1600 and then remodeled in the 18th century. The church's bell tower was listed as a historical monument by decree of October 22, 1913. The bell tower was struck by lightning in 2019, damaging the spire. Repairs were approved by the municipality in 2021. The 19th-century bells were also listed as historical monuments that same year.

Small restaurant available on the banks of the Allier. The setting is very bucolic. A very beautiful village.

Instead of traditionally opening to the East (on the Jerusalem side), the porch of the church of St-Hilaire faces North. Originally placed under the patronage of the abbey of St-Laurent, near Cosne, it was initially Romanesque in style, then remodeled over the centuries. Saint-Hilaire lived in the 4th century. Originally from Aquitaine, he was exiled to the East for having defended the Trinitarian faith in a Gaul acquired to Arianism. Returning to Gaul around 367, he was appointed first bishop of Poitiers.

magnificent little church, inside which are remains of medieval frescoes as well as furniture from the Sainte Chapelle de Bourges. Remarkable elements also present on the beams. if the church is closed, go and ask for the keys from Mr Turpin, winemaker on the church square.

A castle classified as a historic monument since 1914, it is made up of a massive keep and a fortified enclosure surrounded by a moat. A river, the Sagonin, supplies them with water. This estate has the particularity of having belonged to the great architect of Louis XIV, Jules Hardouin-Mansart. Its acquisition in 1699 had a specific goal for him: that of owning a titled feudal domain in order to be able to claim its ennoblement by the king in 1682 and thus have his arms appear on all his documents and portraits. The castle subsequently experienced long periods of abandonment and today only the medieval part remains, restored by volunteer projects from 1977.

Don't hesitate to take a short detour to admire this 13th century medieval castle which has preserved its military architecture, notably its wooden weighbridge and its moat. It was included in the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments in 2019 and can be visited all year round. Sleeping there is also possible because the owners offer two guest rooms.
