It was designed in 1949 and uses the sun's energy concentrated by mirrors to generate heat and conduct scientific experiments involving high temperatures. It is an interesting place to visit as it offers an educational insight into renewable energy and the history of solar technology. In addition, the Mont-Louis area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is known for its fortress and spectacular mountain setting.

The Sorède River rises in the Albères massif and flows down through the valley, passing through the village before reaching the plain. This river is particularly appreciated for its picturesque landscapes and its areas suitable for swimming, particularly in the "Happy Valley", where there is a waterfall popular with hikers and locals.
