Superb village with architecture typical of this region, including this church

This village is listed among the "most beautiful villages in France", but the local star is the church, hidden at the back of the square. Fortified, it only reveals its charms to the most daring. To see it up close, you have to do some strange gymnastics. The neighboring houses, made of red brick, topped with slate, seem to form a continuous enclosure. An integral part of the village's interpretation circuit, open all year round, the church has been specially equipped for visits and offers you the possibility of going upstairs to discover its guard room-refuge!
