From the fortified church of Saint-Sébastien, topped with a majestic square tower flanked by a bretèche (an advanced fortification element), this pleasant hike leads to the "heights" of the village. On the plateau, a bucolic landscape unfolds where meadows, crops, and cattle alternate: a mosaic to discover in every season, beautifully enhanced just before the harvests.
