The church of Saint-Nicolas is one of the crown jewels of Alpine Baroque art.
It was built during the first half of the 18th Century using funds provided by expatriates and colporteurs going to the German Low Country.

Probably one of the most beautiful Baroque churches in Savoy, it is listed as a historic monument. Recently restored, it now looks as good as new. The gold-leaf gilding, carved wood and polychromy will delight your eyes.
"An extremely ancient place of pilgrimage with a curious Baroque-style oratory, covered with Renaissance frescoes and gilt, in the purest tradition of Savoie's religious heritage..." wrote Roger Frison Roche in Mont-Blanc aux sept Vallées.

The church of Notre-Dame-de-Toute-Grâce (1950) is the key building in the 20th century revival of sacred art. The masterpieces that decorate it are signed by the greatest artists of modern art.
Contemporary with the Priory founded by the Benedictines around 1085, it is made up of 3 parts corresponding to 3 periods and is listed in the supplementary inventory of historic monuments as one of the most original. Closed for renovation until December 2024.
The church was built by the Italian builder Domenico Gualino and completed in 1759, as shown on the four cast-iron tie rods at the corners of the façade. The church's interior remained unfinished at this time and its interior decoration dates from 1847.
