==Sights==
It features a [[Romanesque architecture|Romanesque]] church built in the 11th century, in lombard style, surrounded by stone-built houses with the typical covered galleries of this region with a 16th-century watch tower. In the hamlet of Lancharre, there is a church of the 12th century, remains of a canonnesse's monastery.

Around Chapaize lie a large state and communal forest and two ponds. In the four hamlets of Chapaize (Bessuge, Gemaugue, Lancharre, and Chapaize), there are several laundrettes which were still used at the beginning of the 1950s.
