What you'll see
A big Gothic church with a separate spire, the tallest in the south of France, standing over a square that fills with a flea market and food stalls on weekends.
A brief history
The church was built over the 1300s to 1500s; the spire, finished in 1492, stands apart from it, as was common in the region.
