economy
For centuries, agriculture in Haut-Quercy was primarily self-sufficient , which included viticulture until the 19th century, but which was almost completely given up after the phylloxera crisis . Today - in addition to cattle and poultry farming - tourism in the form of renting holiday apartments ( gîtes ) plays a major role in the economic life of the municipality.
