It houses a permanent painting exhibition, featuring the work of the local artist Cécile Sabourdy. It also puts on other painting exhibitions, and regularly offers activities to the public. In the heart of the village: there’s a Romano-Gothic church, which houses a crèche (a nativity scene in wood) from the seventeenth century; and, not far away, there is an unusual type of well. As you take the road, from our house towards Vicq, you’ll find the Chapelle des Chauveix (15th and 18th centuries). Inside you’ll find a modern fresco by Roch Popelier, a local artist, which illustrates the life of Saint François d'Assise.

In Vicq: there’s a restaurant - Lo Vinataud – which is open for lunches on weekdays. On Friday evenings, from June to September, it serves moules/frites (mussels and chips). There’s a boulangerie nearby, and so too the village shop Le petit Breuilh, a good place for tea. Five Marchés de Pays bring a rhythm to the village, from June to August, on Thursday evenings.
