In the old village of ST Geniez ô Merle are the ruins of the 14th and 15th century church, listed as a Monument Historique since 1969. Situated on the side of a promontory, it was preceded on the west by a multi-bay bell tower, and ended on the east by a straight wall bearing the Merle coat of arms. The patron saint was St Geniez, the comedian honored on August 25. Its destruction was triggered by a lightning storm that destroyed the roof. Ruin quickly followed, aided by stone robbers. Before 1897, it was the church of the former parish of Saint Geniez ô Merle. The present-day church of St Geniez ô Merle was built in 1899, replacing that of the present-day "Vieux Bourg", whose hamlet is now a protected site.
