The village was once a dependency of the priory of Port Dieu and was called St-Bonnet-Port Dieu until 1871 before taking its present name. Notice the beautiful juxtaposition of the church and the Sully tree: Sully, a minister of Henri IV, is said to have ordered the mayors of the kingdom to have a tree planted in front of the main door of the churches so that the parishioners could discuss, before and after the service, their interests and those of the parish under the shade.
