Perched high above the Oyon Valley, the chapel of the Priory of Saint-Étienne, believed to have been built in the late 10th or early 11th century, is a listed historical monument.
The curious eye will notice strange bricks on the gable, remnants of the Gallo-Roman era. Inside, a heritage guide will share with you the secrets of this jewel of Romanesque art, which houses remarkable colourful murals dating from several periods and beautiful statues, as well as a Baroque altarpiece in polychrome wood.
The Priory of Saint-Étienne is open all year round for groups and schoolchildren with a heritage guide, prices on request.
During the school holidays, national events or the summer period, discover the site through a rich and varied programme of events (concerts, workshops, tours, exhibitions, etc.).
