Pasteur Street, the "Café des Sports"	Thanks to the dairy production of Normandy's famous cows, you can discover many regional cheese specialities such as "Camembert", "Livarot", "Pont l'Eveque" and "Pavé d'Auge". The abundance and the quality of the apple trees make it possible to provide the famous "AOC Pays d'Auge" cider.

The Saint Denis Church is situated in the village center. Its oldest part is the Roman tower which dates back to the 12th century. It is built out of stone from Caen, and the tower is finished in Modillion Cornice. The pyramidal steeple framework is crowned by an octagonal arrow head. Before the revolution period, the cemetery surrounded the church, as is still the case nowadays in many other villages in our region.
