Small mountain village in the Massif Central, in Aubrac. It is one of the Small Towns of Character, with many granite houses that can be found in the small streets and on the squares of the village. Just on the outskirts of the village, spreads out the glacial valley of the Lhère, bordered by basalt cliffs.
