The chief activity of the commune is agriculture. A famous sawmill is one of the few “industries”. You can visit the plateau on horseback ,thanks to the riding centre…and ,in winter, when the snow consents to fall in large enough quantities, the countryside becomes a paradise for cross-country skiers. The village is proud of its heritage in the form of its 16th century church and the little chapelle de la Marmotte, carved out of a single block of granite. |
Elle est fière de son patrimoine que représentent son église qui date du 16ème siècle et la petite chapelle de la Marmotte, taillée dans un seul bloc de granit.
Since time immemorial one single , well-known fair in the area : the 15th August , brought back to its former glory by the « Sgnules ».

Crossed by many untamed country lanes, the plateau is heaven for riders, walkers and mountain-bikers, who never tire of the unrestricted view of the surrounding mountains.
