The main one for hikers is the magnificent view from the top of the cliffs over the village below and the Foncaude plateau. But there is also a church entirely decorated with frescoes. This is the work of Nicolaî Greschny,who used Byzantine techniques consisting of applying natural ochre pigments to the still-fresh plaster. In 2012, the entire parish church, including its wall decorations, was listed as a Historic Monument. To climb the cliffs, follow in the footsteps of the pilgrims of Santiago de Compostela andtake the GR®787, known as the Bretelle de Foncaude, for most of the route.GPS or Visorando app useful
