The Maison du Notaire, notary's residence, is a remarkable building dating from the mid-19th century. It has been wonderfully preserved and transformed into a museum, to honour the memory of Hervé Rousseau, notary. When visiting, you can wander through the very rooms he used and discover how people lived during that era. The notary's residence has also, over the years, become an important crafts and art center. You can visit the art gallery, which offers painting exhibits of both local and regional artists' best works. Be sure to browse the handicrafts counters where it is possible to purchase the work of artists and artisans from the area.
