Hiking

Of art historical importance are the early Christian baptistery of St. Jean (in the core 6th century with possibly older predecessors), one of the oldest preserved religious buildings in France. The date of origin of the baptismal site at the later Baptistery Saint-Jean, originally set up in a Roman house, is dated to new investigations and dendrochronological data as early as the 5th century. The first construction phase with the rectangular room of today's baptistery could belong to the appearance of the plant to the 6th century.
