From this farmhouse, high on a hill at the edge of the valley of the river Lèze, you have stunning views over the foothills of the Pyrenees.

Nowadays they are hardly in use in their original function, but are merely technical-historical monuments of a long tradition of craftsmanship: solely using the power of the wind as driving energy, the heavy millstones inside were moved and, for example, grains of grain were ground into flour (so-called grain mills ) or the oil is pressed from (e.g. olive) fruits (so-called oil mills). These old windmills are the best evidence that people were clever enough to harness the power of the wind centuries ago - long before the discovery of electricity and the resulting inventions.

From here you have a beautiful view of the surroundings with the Pyrenees in the background.

The municipality is governed from this beautiful stately building

Roundabout with wooden statues made by a local artist.

The nave and choir of the Church were transformed in the 18th century. The facade puts the building in the category of fortified churches. The lower part is made of sandstone and, according to the moldings of the door, it dates from the 14th century. The upper part seems to be from the same period. It includes two turrets and two formerly crenellated galleries. The first floor had four battlements of which the gargoyles remain.

Great red brick church, nice little streets. You can rest in the cloister easily accessible from the street of the old town hall.
