a small bar
and, if that's not enough

the Mayor and a central heating shop!
A stroll around this delightful little place will reveal a wealth of glowing detail...
-
a 12th C. chapel replete with original frescos seemingly as fresh as the day they were applied
-
the 400 year old stone-roofed church with its fairytale turrets
-
ducks and geese enjoying the unaccustomed freedom of the little pond
There's even a typically busy open-air market...
Every Sunday morning there is a thriving market where you can buy anything from a pair of knickers to a box of Turkish delight, freshly made doughnuts to goose neck stuffed with foie gras!
