A hamlet nestled at the confluence of two valleys, overlooked by the ruined arches of a railway viaduct destroyed during the Second World War.

The stone pillars, overrun with vegetation, still straddle the road like an abandoned film set. The village, also known for its artisan candied-fruit confectionery, makes a handy starting point for exploring the Loup gorges on foot or by car.
