The Village
Very welcoming and friendly. There is a primary school that works with schools in Cuxac-Cabardès (infants (from 3 years), primary and a college). There is a coach provided by the commune for the transport of children between the two villages.
Every year there are many things going on for the inhabitants and other villages in the Montagne Noir.

The most important being a big village fete (4 days) during the last days of July beginning of August. The villagers are a mix of ages, children up to the more senior members. There is a village guardian who keeps the village clean, tidy and beautiful. It is quite a middle-class village with many professionals choosing to live here with their families.
