Nice little place to have a coffee. However, it's €3 for a coffee...

There's a small café where you can sit under the trees on the terrace, very peaceful. But €3 for an espresso...

The Cheval Blanc has good country food in a rather uninspiring interior. The patron is very friendly though and the food tasty and portions generous. Table wine disappointing.

The cult of the Black Virgin dates back to the 6th century when a Syrian colony was established in this town then called Avenum. The primitive church (1170-1180) houses the miraculous statue of St Pol. Joan of Arc prayed before Our Lady of Miracles. It was during the wars of religion that the statue was burned while the church was ruined (1562). A new statue was inaugurated at the end of the 16th century, the same one that is contemplated. After the Revolution, the building was restored. The church burned down in 1940 but nothing in the chapel was affected by the fire. A new building was built and inaugurated in 1966.
