The rock, located at an altitude of just under 480 meters, offers a wide panorama over the Grosne valley. In addition to its scenic beauty, the place is historically significant: during World War II, it served as a secret hiding place for young members of the French Resistance.

The municipality has a total of five historic washhouses from the 19th century. They have been lovingly restored by an association of volunteers and reflect the rural cultural history of the region. The structure is made of characteristic local natural stone. In the 19th century, such washhouses not only served for cleaning laundry but were also a central social meeting point for the village community.

The striking Romanesque structure dates from the 12th century. The church towers protectively over the valley and houses valuable wall paintings from the late 13th century.
