Tips
The parish church of Saint-Martin de Meux, which was initially a seigniorial chapel, dates from the 12th century.
Rectangular in plan, it has a fairly long nave which was probably modified after the Hundred Years Wars, in the 15th century and it was fortified by building an upper chamber pierced with arrow slits.
In the upper part, a canopy covered with slate shelters two bays of campanile which would have replaced the bell tower demolished before the Revolution.
A vault of plaster ribs built in 1861 and which covered the nave, gave way to the framework of the beginning of the 17th century. It was listed as a historic monument on May 15, 2000.translated by
