Things to see and do

Listed building, the Saint-Julien church is an ancient priory church that once belonged to the Cluniac order. Built in the twelfth century, it is a beautiful example of Romanesque architecture of Lower Auvergne with an octagonal steeple, a sanctuary with ambulatory and radiating chapels. His novel bedside disappeared in the fifteenth century, however, following an earthquake and is now replaced by a three-sided apse. On the facades, you will love the arches with their polychrome mosaics in stones representing various rosettes and geometrical patterns.

Walking through the town, be sure not to appreciate the old St. Mary's Church included in the supplementary inventory of historical monuments, or Rudel hotel Miral became City Hall. The latter is also registered in the inventory of Historical Monuments.

In this old fortified village in the middle of the old houses of winemakers, you can also explore the Sainte-Marcelle rebuilt in the mid-nineteenth century, or the tower and the old gates of the fortifications.
