Vigneux-Hocquet is dominated by the Saint-Martin church, this imposing martial-looking building protected the population during the 16th century. It has now found a renovated interior and allows the visitor to meditate, imagining the disorders of past centuries. The Tree of Jesse - in the form of a carved beam or "Beam of Glory" - is very rare in France! Restored, it shines and is worth a detour! (https://www.tourisme-thierache.fr)
