Overview

The heritage association invites you to discover the village and its history through several activities: exhibition on the rights of the Lords and Serfs, exhibition of old postcards, visit of the abbey.

Exhibition: Rights of the Lords and Serfs

Dive into the heart of the Middle Ages and explore the complexity of feudal rights. About fifteen richly illustrated panels will make you discover privileges often in favor of the Lords... and much less for the Serfs. An opportunity to better understand the social relationships of this fascinating era.
