Take the time to discover it
On the edge of the Barade forest, these villages were originally two hamlets brought together by a royal decree on the 21st August 1827, which explains why this commune has two churches.
The origin of Saint Felix (Sanctus Felix) goes back to 1273. Its Romanesque church with beautiful stained-glass windows and statues of the Virgin of St Joseph and St Laurent (patron saint of the town) has been restored.

The church Saint John Baptist Mortemart which is a national heritage building, was built on a feudal mound and has 2 interesting features : its bell-wall and its square tower. Both churches are open to the public in the summer season.
