FloraThe boxwood path
A natural curiosity is this little trail which wraps you in vegetation as if to protect you from view, and intoxicates you with the unique scent of boxwood.
RiverView over the gorges of La Rozeille
This small fish-bearing river slides into the hollow of a deep valley and creates deep gorges that contrast strongly with the surrounding landscape, giving it a torrential appearance in some places.
ArchaeologyArchaeological site
Several excavation campaigns have uncovered this site, occupied by humans for 1800 years, and in which nearly 400 skeletons have been discovered, as well as sarcophagi, a Gallo-Roman mausoleum and a Merovingian tombstone. This site, with its great archaeological wealth, is not yet well-known.
Heritage siteChurch of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
This 11th-century church belonged to a monastery. It was partly destroyed by the Protestants and then rebuilt in the 17th century and preserved, the bell tower, the vaulted choir, the altarpiece, the statues and paintings. The facade dates back to the 16th century.
