Place Sainte-Croix

Place Sainte-Croix is the town's highest point (189 m). The square is lined with several Gothic houses built between the 13th and 15th centuries. The square is home to the 14th-century Hôtel de la Bulette, whose name refers to the right to collect certain taxes on landed property, and which still boasts two corbelled watchtowers and battlements. Converted into a prison in the 16th century, into a girls' teacher training college in the 19th century, it was later converted into a maternity hospital.
