SIGHTSEEING
- The 12th-century Romanesque church in the Vielle district.
- The late 17th-century Mas de Reilhe.
- The well-fountain in the Vielle district.
- The view over the Courme valley, which links the Gardon and Vidourle regions.

WORTH KNOWING:
Between the limestone plateaus, the Courme forms a small connecting plain between the Gardon
and the Vidourle. On the hills, you'll find garrigue, vines and olive groves; on the plains, orchards and cereals dominate. Hunters are important users of the garrigue, helping to maintain it. The cohabitation of hunters and other users implies the need to respect a code of good conduct.
