Its original name was Église Notre-Dame-du-Champs, due to its location in the middle of the fields. Built in the late 12th century, it was enlarged in the 14th century to accommodate the growing population, with two turrets serving as observation posts. The Wars of Religion destroyed the edifice, which was rebuilt in the 17th century, with the bell tower still intact. Open daily, visits are free of charge.
