"The Saint-Martin de Valmy church was rebuilt almost entirely in 1835 (except the choir dated 1740) on the site of an older building. Many restorations were carried out in 1882 and 1924.

The facade is made up of an entrance body with two pilasters with ionic capitals jumping out slightly and framing an oculus, surmounted by a small triangular pediment.

Inside, the entrance span is treated with a Palladian, lifts with a semicircular arch, then stretches laterally towards the two collaterals.

Visitors can discover its beautiful stained glass windows, the pulpit in the nave, the central crystal chandelier and the choir which is being restored. "

" L’église Saint-Martin de Valmy a été reconstruite presque entièrement en 1835 (sauf le choeur daté de 1740) sur l’emplacement d’un édifice plus ancien. De nombreuses restaurations ont été menées en 1882 et 1924.

La façade est formée d’un corps d’entrée à deux pilastres à chapiteaux ioniques ressautant en faible avancée et encadrant un oculus, surmonté d’un petit fronton triangulaire.

A l’intérieur, la travée d’entrée est traitée à la palladienne, se soulève avec un arc en plein cintre, puis s’étire latéralement vers les deux collatéraux.

Les visiteurs peuvent découvrir ses très beaux vitraux, la chaire dans la nef, le lustre central en cristal et le chœur dont la restauration est en cours. "
