Sites of interest
- Église Saint-Christophe, originally from the 13th Century c., was reconstructed in 1700; it was again rebuilt in 1883 when it was threatening to topple. The only conserved pieces are the lower part of the façade and the tower. The rest was reconstructed in the style of the 13th Century. In 1932-33, in honor of the 50th year after the renovation, Paul Noël Lasseran was called to paint murals. He finished a majority of them before his death in 1933.
- Rue Lagrange: This road is spanned by a cover which connects to buildings which were originally agricultural.
Notable people
- Jean-Marie Ducos: Deputy of Gers and member of the First French Parliament from 1798-99.
