Saint-Claude was invoked to guard against the harmful effects of frosts due to late snowfalls.
The Saint-Antoine Chapel, a listed monument, dates from the 16th century. The exterior frescoes represent the procession of Vices and Virtues as well as Saint-Antoine and characters relating to its construction.
