Superb commune certified “Most beautiful villages in France”. The white facades of the houses give the village squares a beautiful appearance. The village is known for its underground church of Saint-Jean in particular. The belvedere offers a breathtaking view of the red tiled roofs of the houses and their characteristic loggias which were once used to dry crops.

A very well maintained community. Old buildings, cute coffees, chic boutiques, countless antique shops and the extraordinary church.

Unique underground church. Really well preserved. The entrance ticket costs 8 euros with audio guide (French or English) other languages available as text (you get two pages in one slide). A visit is highly recommended. The photos hardly manage to reflect the mysterious beauty of this church.
