You will be dazzled by this small medieval village and especially by the Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption church which sits majestically in the middle of the village.
As it is fortified, it looks as much like a church as a fortified castle. It is surprising.

Kazé - artwork by Japanese artist Teruhisa Suzuki
Highlight • Other
The man is known the world over for his "ephemeral" art produced in the great outdoors using natural materials found on site or recovered. He uses them to create his works, bringing out the character of them and their environment. His works have notably been produced in Japan, France, the Netherlands, and Greece.
A tornado… in memory of the Klaus storm of 2009 which devastated 160 trees
The production is called "Kazé" which means "wind" in Japanese. The sculpture of braided branches evokes a cyclone trapped in the forest. Light and majestic, it symbolizes all the strength and power of the wind. It is a memorial work, aiming to remember the terrible Klaus storm of January 24, 2009 which devastated more than 160 trees in this forest of St Elix.
Since the materials are natural, the work gradually degrades over time. Seven years after her erection, she remains in generally stable condition. However, the degradation process will be the reason for this construction in the coming years. So the curious are invited to come and see her soon.
