Vigneux-Hocquet is dominated by the Saint-Martin church, this imposing building with a martial appearance protected the population during the 16th century. Today it has found a renovated interior and allows visitors to meditate, imagining the disorders of past centuries. The Tree of Jesse - in the form of a sculpted beam or "Poutre de Gloire" - is very rare in France! Restored, it shines and is worth a detour! (tourisme-thierache.fr)
