The current Saint-Denis church has a square Renaissance tower that dominates the city and its surroundings.
The Hundred Years' War ravaged the primitive building, built in the 11th century. Around 1520, the parishioners decided to rebuild their church. Thus was born the current church of Saint-Denis, of flamboyant Gothic style, with its square Renaissance tower which dominates the city and its surroundings. A particularity : the enlargement of the church encroached on the monks' cemetery, and the monks were allowed to establish shops between the buttresses of the church and to rent them to merchants ; four of the original twenty-three remain. The carved wooden doors dating from the 16th century are real jewels.

Une jolie église au centre ville. On peut l'admirer en se désaltérant du café qui se trouve juste en face. L'intérieur de l'église est bien conservé.
