HISTORIC BUILDINGS
Eglise Saint-GeorgesThe church, built in the late 13th century for Béatrice de Faucigny to replace a wooden structure, retains its original tall, narrow windows and liturgical pool in the choir. In the 14th and 15th centuries, several chapels were added, including the Chapel of Sainte-Catherine in 1471 for Isabelle de Menthon. The sanctuary was rebuilt in 1679, with renovations to the bell tower in 1836 and 1955. After archaeological work and restoration between 1972 and 1974, the exterior walls were fully restored in 2008. Location:Google Maps
