The village outskirts are equally agreeable and superb countryside surrounds this pretty, Provencal settlement.
At the base of the village, you will find a huge chateau constructed in the mid-17th century - unfortunately is not open to the public. History-lovers will enjoy visiting the Saint-Pierre chapel. Dating back to 1098, it is situated behind the cemetery and was previously the ancient parish church.
