Tips
This town has a rich heritage. Judge for yourself: only 156 inhabitants, but no less than two medieval castles in the village, as well as a magnificent chapel called Saint-Christophe. Due to the proximity to the prehistoric site of Combe-Capelle, every summer a series of conferences known as the Couze valley are held in the village, on the subject of the latest finds from this important prehistoric site.
The greatest discovery was the unearthing in 1909 of a human skeleton called the “Combe-Capelle Man”. In 2011, the discovery of a Neanderthal smoosher renewed interest in the site.translated by
