The Church of the Assumption dates from 1554 and was originally dedicated to Saint Didier, but was later changed to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. It has a remarkable collection of 17th century paintings, some of which are inspired by famous artists such as Rubens and Rembrandt. You can also admire the marble altar, the stone altarpiece and the funerary slab of Abbot Alexandre Lecharny. The church is open to visitors every day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., except Mondays and public holidays.

The Cascades d'Étufs are a natural site presenting a series of waterfalls formed by a limestone spring which deposits a porous rock called tuff. The waterfalls are located on private property, but you can access them by a 10-minute walk from a parking lot. Along the way, you can admire the lush vegetation and the stream which flows into the Aube. The best time to visit is winter or early spring, when the water flow is abundant and the waterfalls are more impressive.
