Ste Jeanne d'Arc
The church of Ste-Jeanne-d'Arc (inside which can be seen a 16th C. window from the church of St-Vincent which was destroyed during the last war) and a large cross bear memory to Jeanne d'Arc, who was burned at the stake here on May 30 1431. Excavations have revealed fragments of the church of St-Sauveur, which was destroyed during the French Revolution.
