This church is a late Romanesque masterpiece (end of the 11th century) of almost Cistercian austerity. It is located at the tip of a promontory overlooking the Grosne valley, opposite the ancient manor of the Lords of Brancion. It is topped by a square bell tower topped with a lava roof. Open every day from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and from 1:15 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. (last entry 6 p.m.).
