Attractions
The Ste-Apollonie church is typical of the Lauragais. The bells of the relatively small building are fixed in a wall that is far higher than the rest of the building. The church was built in the 16th century and restored in the 19th century. In 1950 and 1996 the walls of the nave and porch were painted with scenes from the legend of the saints of Apollonia of Alexandria and from the life of Jesus against the background of landscapes from the Lauragais.
