13th-century parish church of Sainte-Croix. According to local tradition, it was built on the spot where a pilgrim returning from Jerusalem rested, carrying a fragment of the true Cross. It comprises three naves with three bays, the third bay of the central nave forming the choir. The church boasts a remarkable treasure trove of 21 reliquaries: statuettes, crosses and reliquary arms, ciboria and monstrances. It includes two magnificent 13th-century reliquary caskets in repoussé copper and champlevé enamel, the casket reliquary of Saint André-Hubert Fournet, a priest from Poitou, and the casket reliquary of Saint Blaise, which was restored in the 19th century.
