Sunset Spot

This magnificent little village is located on a height. The brick terraces of the southern part of the city overlook the Pyrenees and offer splendid sunsets. Carla-Bayle owes its name to the French philosopher Pierre Bayle, born in the village in 1647. He was a scholar and a thinker mixing skepticism and rationalism. He is the author of the famous historical and critical dictionary of 1697 which announces the spirit of the Enlightenment. So much so that encyclopaedists will hail Bayle as one of their inspirations. Here is one of his famous quotes: "The more we study man, the more we know that pride is his dominant passion, and that it affects greatness even in the saddest misery." Come stroll through the streets of Carla, you won't regret it.

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.
