Lhoest House and Wheelwright Workshop

Highlight • Historical Site

This house, dating from the 18th and 19th centuries, is one of the oldest in the village. Initially designed for a notable family with independent infrastructure, it was inhabited by the lawyer Jules Henault. In 1933, Jules Lhoest set up his wheelwright workshop there, which he modernized with machines. Today, the Lhoest family maintains the property and runs the historic workshop.

Château de Fumal

Highlight • Castle

This castle forms a group of beautiful whitish limestone.

To get there, you have to go up a little (quite steep but short slope), on the cycle path which leads to Ravel L147.

Its oldest part consists of a tower which dates back to the 16th century. It was fitted with a bulbous roof and new facing in the first third of the 17th century.

We can read the date 1622 in the anchors of the south facade.

A beautiful park extends to the north of the residence.
