Anecdote
In the commune of Buno-Bonnevaux, the Bonnevaux chapel, listed as a historic monument since 1950, dates from the 13th century: it is a remnant of the former church of Saint-Sulpice. Bonnevaux was an independent commune before the Revolution, attached to Buno in 1794 as it was losing its population. In 1816 the church was in great ruin, the nave and bell tower were demolished, and the building was bought by Mademoiselle d'Averton, who wanted to restore worship there, but it became a « hunting lodge ». It is now private property, at the edge of a clearing.
