Sheep farming is the main activity of this rural village, which is built on the side of the mountain and looks down over the Tarn valley. The village enjoys a sunny location and excellent views. This is the departure point for two excursions: to the Plédestal (built to hold a 30-metre statue of the Virgin Mary and which overlooks the limestone plateau), and to the wine producing village known as caves d'entre deux monts.
