Place du Marché, in the heart of town, is dominated by the 13th-century Kappelturm Beffroi. The stout, square structure is topped by a pointed steeple that's flanked at each corner by frilly openwork turrets.
An elaborate Renaissance well near the belfry, the Puits à Six-Seaux was constructed in 1579. Its name recalls the six buckets suspended from its metal chains.
The twin spires of this parish church compete with the belfry for skyline preeminence. Like the rest of the sanctuary, the spires date from the 1860s, although the 1504 Holy Sepulchre altarpiece in the north transept is a survivor from the previous church. Other points of interest include the flower-bedecked Place de l'Étoile and the Hôtel de Ville, which is open to visitors the third weekend of September during Les Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days).
