The parish church, founded as a monastery under the name of Saint Martin, became a collegiate church for lay canons in the year 1000.
The dean gave the collegiate church to the Benedictine monks of Saint-Victor de Marseille who reformed it and kept it until 1789. It is one of the most beautiful Romanesque buildings in Gévaudan.
Despite the alterations and additions of the 14th and 17th centuries, it has retained its identity and in particular its layout, characteristic of the great pilgrimage churches: a nave flanked by side aisles and an apse* with an ambulatory* onto which radiating apsidioles* open.
