The small parish church of St-Pierre-et-St-Paul was built in the early 18th century. Before that, the residents attended masses in Castellet, Saignon or in the former chapel. The church has a beautiful nativity scene with nativity scenes from the 18th and 19th centuries. Its bell tower , with two arched openings above the west facade, bears a bell from 1732, donated by a galley captain.

From the medieval village, parts of the donjon , remains of the wall, some medieval houses and the St-Pierre chapel have been preserved. The buildings were restored in the 1990s .
