Saint Jacques le Majeur Church
Church from the 19th century, it has a mural in the choir painted by Luc Barbier, and an imposing virgin from the 19th century.
Meant to replace the old dilapidated church that was situated on the Lyon to Grenoble railway track, the current church was built in 1840 from the previous church materials.
The high-altar is marked by the Virieu-Pupetière's and Vallin's families emblem.
Admire a XVII th century painting "The Christ in cross", classified as historic monument and the choir fresco "Genesis" painted by Luc Barbier (1947), a painter from Lyon.
Notice the bells that date back to 1648, 1857 and 1888.
