Things to see and do

While strolling in the town, do not miss going to discover the Vieux Four with its high brick chimney which was used in the past for the manufacture of tiles and bricks.

During your walk, you can also admire the 19th century Micy cross, the 17th century Saint-Nicolas bridge or the Europe bridge, an inclined bowstring arch bridge with very original architecture.
