Adjacent to the church, the Victory of Ikaria, a sculpture by resident Igor Mitoraj was inaugurated at the end of 2007. It is next to the Virgin mary (symbol of purity), and symbol of the French Republic.
There are many traditional French bories (stone shelters) located within the village and surrounding area.
