But this "sporty" village also has other more surprising cultural assets: wall paintings dating from the 15th century on the wall of Saint-Vincent chapel, a medieval chapel dedicated to Saint-Romain (12th century) now used as a museum of rural life in olden times, Saint-Roch chapel (17th century) presenting an exhibition on the theme of "the plague and the penitents "
Puy Saint Vincent will reconcile nature lovers and culture lovers!
