Eglise St Pierre - Biovallée The Church of St. Peter
The church of Saint-Pierre is of Romanesque origin. Founded in the 12th century by the Cluniac monks, on a medieval motte with local limestone materials. The church initially had a defensive vocation by controlling access to the Vercors. It is built on a cruciform plan, composed of a single nave, illuminated by windows to the south.
