Things to see and do

It is on the site of the monastery and the fort in the 16th century, the Counts of Tournon built the present castle, rebuilt in the 18th century by Du Faure. The castle was surrounded by a wall which there are some remains and a door. This enclosure shut the church, the castle, the cure and some old houses. The ancient castle of the Marquis de Satillieu has undergone many internal changes that hardly possible to imagine its former atmosphere. Two rooms, however, have kept their decor of yesteryear. One room is decorated with painted time of the First Empire papers, while the large lounge, located in the heart of the building, in the garden is lined with paintings of the late 17th or early 18th century.
