Paths and landscapes
The 12-kilometre Circuit des Horizons passes through villages, vineyards and sunken lanes to the Moulin du Pé, then continues across open slopes and through wooded paths. The Moulin du Pé stands 64 metres above the wine-growing region; the 5.60-metre-high Christ Roi statue was created in 1960.
Culture and history
Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste is a neo-Gothic church built between 1858 and 1875. Its bell tower is 75 metres high. The church houses polychrome frescoes from the first quarter of the 13th century, originating from the deconsecrated Chapelle Saint-Laurent.
Manoir de la Dixmerie is a former manor house on a platform surrounded by water-filled moats. It dates back to the 17th century and was rebuilt between 1796 and 1809. It is partly listed as a Monument historique.
The remains of a castle built in the 12th century and fortified in the 15th century overlook the Étangs des Grenouillères.
