In addition to a very warm welcome, full of simplicity and good humor, a timeless bakery, where the specialty breads are extraordinary! Special mention to the raisin rolls, perhaps the best in the world 🥰😊😋. The bakery's must-haves are generally only available on Sundays

Beautiful reservoir, the level is low currently because repairs are underway until 2026, but otherwise, it's a little Canada!

The Chemin du Mounas goes up from the Papeterie mill. You are here in the middle of the fields. The path is ideal for mountain biking or gravel.
