History
The village, built on a hill has beautiful views of the surrounding area and still preserves its medieval look.
The 15th century Castle was occupied by the Knights Templar. Those monk-soldiers contributed to the upgrading of this part of France but above all offered protection for the pilgrims on the way to St James of Compostela.
