SIGHTSEEING

The ancient church of Saint-Christophe (outside the village) outside the small Romanesque church we do not doubt that a treasure is hidden inside. Beautiful medieval polychrome paintings adorn the walls. The dating would be between the 12th and 13th century. A scene showing St Leonard, patron saint of prisoners released from two captives. Other scenes of Gothic, Oriental-style adorn the walls.

Hall: originally it consisted of 24 pillars. Late 16th century, it housed the fairs and markets.

The castle (private): dated part of the 12th century that belonged to the barony of Gontaut-Biron, he was for many years been the subject of looting then used its stones to build houses nearby.

Renaissance Homes: above the hall, very nice homes that seem by an optical effect look.
