Boasting a fantastic gothic church and a complete Roman tower called a'Lanterne Des Morts' a 'Dead Mans Lantern' used by the Romans to mark their grave sites. There is a small cafe opposite the church but it is rarely open. Don't worry about the hill, there is a car park at the top just past the church on the left, try to avoid parking in the spaces outside the Mayors residence.
