While here, be sure to pay special attention to the architecture, and take the time to visit the impressive 19th century La Maison des frères des écoles chrétiennes, or ‘The House of Christian Brothers,’ which was originally used as a school for boys, but today functions as the town hall. Also of note, the house of Dr. Dugoujon, which played a significant role in the resistance against Nazi Germany during World War II, is located here. |
