If you open your eyes, you will see a multitude of small architectural details hidden in the village.
Go around the church to the north after noticing 2 sculpted stones on a window near the south portal: horns of plenty, scallop shell and swords. Go into impasse du monastère.
Join the rue du château and go up to the chapel of Saint Martin, a small building which is now disused. This 15th century chapel houses frescoes from the same period which can be discovered during a tour.
Turn right into rue des Mineurs and right again into rue de la rotonde. Join the rue de bretagne and go down it to n°134/139.
On your left, take the rue de la fruitière to the rue saint Eldrade. At the fountain, take the rue de la mairie. Cross the RN and go past the chapelle st pierre.
Join rue de la petite turrière, go down it and make a breakthrough into rue de la piscine. Return to rue de la petite turrière and go down to its steepest part. Turn left (green metal post) and take rue du vieux four.
Turn left into rue sainte marguerite to join rue de la petite turière; turn right into rue saint andré which owes its name to the presence of a chapel dedicated to saint andré, a chapel also decorated with 15th century frescoes and which is included in the painted chapels discovery circuit.
After the chapel, turn left into rue de la grande turrière and then immediately after the lime tree, turn left into chemin des prés des Ors.
Go back along the canal and join the RN.

- Attraction: To take full advantage of this discovery tour, you need to open your eyes wide. We have chosen as main decorative elements: dated or carved stones, old carved doors and niches sheltering virgins, votive ornaments widely used in the village.
During your walk, your attention and wonder may be drawn to an element that we have overlooked.
