The first church in Lussas dedicated to Notre Dame was founded in 537, it is one of the 2nd churches that were constructed during the 12th century but destroyed during the 19th century. Therefore, the current church was built not long after that.
This church was constructed by the Benedictine monks of Conques. The Roman style entrance way dates the 12th century.

A "Borne milliaire" Gallo-Roman military milestone is situated at the crossroads of an ancient route that runs from Saint-Germain to Lavilledieu and part of the road to Alba-la-Romaine and Voguë.
From the national roadway 102, the village can be seen with its elegant bell tower, tiled rooftops and the beautiful silhouette of its convent. There are traces of Neolithic life, noting the ancient presence of man in Lavilledieu.
The church has a strange bell tower: a 9m high statue of Our Lady of Lourdes. It is said that it would have been built in thanks for having spared the village from an epidemic of cholera which had struck the neighboring villages.
It is a unique fortified castle on the Coiron plateau. It is constructed by basalt rock and was also used for agriculture. No public visits permitted.
In the village of Mirabel, the Coiron plateau lies perched at an altitude of 500m and forms a balcony that dominates the Valley of Auzon, offering a magnificent panoramic view of southern Vivarais.
A very touching story: It has been said that since old times this statue (the Virgen Mary with the Child Jesus) was sculpted by a young shepherd of the Bas-Montbrun area in a cherry grove.
