The town is famous for its dyes which were used all over the world.

The restored houses of the town show the full range of ochre shades. From apricot to burgundy to gold, mustard, russet and brown.

In the centre of the town is a small village square. The square has some nice cafes where you can sit outside overlooked by the old clock tower.

The clock tower was formerly a watch tower.

From the square you can walk up the narrow winding streets and stairways to the old church.

The church offers a great place to see the mountains and the hill villages in the Vancluse area.
