Rendezvous at the entrance of the castle
Sylvie Parraud

The old center is very rich in historical and architectural heritage: The medieval castle dating from the XIIth century, with its keep that made the fame of the village. Private mansions of the 16th and 17th centuries, built by the local nobility that flourished at that time. At the turn of the alleys: the bell tower Saint Jean, atypical without its church, the covered hall and its panorama on the valley or the church Sainte Victoire, the three gates in the ramparts that allowed access to the village or the old stalls.
Attention the perched village is hardly accessible to people with reduced mobility. Comfortable shoes recommended.
