A spring flows out of the cliff, creating a waterfall in the town, and providing water power. The village has been a centre of the pottery trade for centuries and is a member of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France. Visitors can explore the village's narrow streets, discover its historic architecture, and enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The village is also home to a gold-painted star that hangs on a chain suspended between two cliffs, which is a notable landmark and a popular spot for photos
