EGLISE NOTRE-DAME-DES-ARTS Founded in the 16th century, the church is richly decorated, with splendid stained glass windows on the south side, dating to the 17th century, including a renowned original work by Martin Vérel depicting boats being towed (1605). The stalls from Bonport Abbey, the great organ, a gift from Henri IV, and a baroque, 17th century altar all further contribute to the richness of the building.
