The chapel of the blessed is located on the heights of Saint-Saëns. Believers or not come there for their children. The building would have the power to make babies walk! At the foot of the statue of Saint-Saëns, we sometimes find baby shoes, proof of the passage of parents worried about their children.

The original construction of the building dates back to the 11th and 12th centuries, partly destroyed by lightning on June 10, 1883. In 1896 it was decided to demolish and completely rebuild the church. In front of the church, you can admire the Dillard Fountain. This dates from 1901. Although he died about fifteen years before its construction, Mr. Dillard was keen to supply the city with drinking water and it was with this objective that he made a legacy in his will, a legacy which was contested by the family and whose lawsuit against the town of Saint-Saëns failed. The Dillard Fountain remained operational until 1960 when the city was connected to drinking water.

The name Rue des Tanneurs is linked to the activity of the tanneries which made up the good years of Saint-Saëns. They have been a real engine of economic development in the city. To the point of causing the creation of a station a few hundred meters from this street. The great master tanners of the 19th century were mainly based in what was then called “rue de l’Eau”.

Formerly a collegiate church, the building now serves as a parish church. It mixes several styles, with a Romanesque transept, a Gothic nave and a Renaissance choir.

At Vassonville, the Saw winds to create delightful green landscapes in the middle of the woods.

This former dairy bears witness to the region's dairy culture. Now disused, it overcomes the Saw, the river around which the valley developed in the Middle Ages.
