Follow the La Chapelle trail along unspoilt, wooded country lanes and discover the 15th-century Chapelle de Feillens, known as the Chapelle de la Vierge.
The Romanesque chapel was the first parish church. Dedicated to the Virgin Mary, it has been the focus of many pilgrimages. A calvary, dating from the early 16th century and listed as a Historic Monument, stands in front of the chapel. This stone calvary is decorated with small coats of arms; on its reverse side, it bears the arms of the Passion. The shaft and branches of the cross are cylindrical and very elaborate.
In the centre of the village, you can still see wooden gates with special ironwork and latches, as in other neighbouring villages in the Val de Saône.
