Points of interest
The Pic Galinié
From Pic Galinié, altitude 537 meters, take the time to admire the view of the peaks of the Tabe massif: Foucat, Saint-Barthélémy, and Soularac.
Dun Castle
Castle Dun (which would have hosted Cathars, hence its current name "Cathar castle") is located on a hill overlooking the village (434 m). We can assume that the top of the hill has been resized to form this big hill on which it is located. This building may not be the original castle because the walls seem to date from a later reconstruction.
