The 12th-century Basilica of Notre-Dame is renowned as being one of the five important Romanesque churches in the Auvergne (at Orcival, Clermont-Ferrand, Issoire, Saint-Nectaire and Saint-Saturnin).
The exterior of the church has received almost no alterations over the centuries. It is perfectly proportioned, with decorative highlights including the belltower and the ironwork on the Porte Saint-Jean. Inside the church are numerous columns, arches and arcades and some decorative carved capital stones.
