SIGHTSEEING
- The late 17th-century church of Saint-Martin.
- The château: attested to as early as the 12th century, this was originally a fortified castle.
- The 17th-century arcaded dovecote belonging to the château.
- Capitelles in the garrigue: small dry-stone constructions used for shelter or storage.
GOOD TO KNOW :
For thousands of years, the garrigue has been exploited by man: food crops and sheep grazing. The holm oak and Aleppo pine forests were used to make charcoal and glass. These are
very sensitive to fire and should be preserved for their animal and plant diversity. There is also a longer trail, "Le chemin des oliviers", part of which follows the loop shown here.
