This hilltop village at 96 meters elevation features narrow cobblestone streets lined with traditional stone houses and provides panoramic views over the surrounding Rhône Valley landscape below.
Established during medieval times, the village preserves its 13th-century castle and fortified walls that demonstrate its former strategic defensive importance during regional historical conflicts and invasions.
