The choir of Saint-Vallier church dates back to the early 13th century. The nave must have been built in modern times. On 23 September 1780, an estimate was drawn up by the architect Durant to rebuild the bell tower's roof structure. On 12 February 1781, Balland, a carpenter from Le Pailly, was awarded the contract to rebuild the steeple frame, but on 22 September 1784, Poterlet, an architect from Châlons, found that the work had to be redone and gave the contractor one year to start again.
The elongated church has a single nave with a ceiling and is topped on the west side by a slate-roofed, timber-framed bell tower crowned by a polygonal spire. The two-bay rib-vaulted choir ends in a flat chevet. The gable-roofed sacristy is attached to the north side of the chancel. The chancel is of ashlar and the rest of the building is of rubble stone with ashlar chain.
