 Departure of St-Saver: Dominating the village of the same name, the church of St-Saver dates, in his oldest parts, of XIème S. (in 1953, a violent one storm destroyed the bell-tower. Since, the destroyed parts were rebuilt. The church is classified with the Inventory of the Historic buildings since 1906). From the church, to follow the street of the Leclerc General and to take the 2nd small street on the named left Street of Beauregard, appears the Seigneuriale House then.
