The Church of St John the Baptist was built from the 11th century onwards on a site where churches had been built since the 5th century. The Romanesque church of the 11th century was replaced by a vast Gothic church of almost one hundred metres in length built in the 13th century. It was sacked by the Huguenots in 1562 and destroyed in 1568. It was followed by a new church which was intended to be temporary, but which was to become permanent. Built between 1608 and 1615, its chevet incorporates the remains of the 13th-century Gothic abbey church. Finally, in 1741, the construction of a large building in the classical style was undertaken. The lack of funds, followed by the Revolution, put an end to the work when only a third of it was completed. The two beautiful towers on the façade remain.
