Information

Description

You can admire several medieval structures. The most remarkable is found on the rock formation where the remains of a castle once existed.

In the southwest part of the village one finds the Oppidum of Chauline, which makes up 3 acres. Traces of this population date between 750 and 650 BC.

Folklore recount that the young men and women who wanted to be married would go and drink from the source of Sceautres.

The peacefulness and beauty of its landscape is also a part of this village’s charm.
