Overview

[edit]

There is a primary school.[1] The hamlet is also home to a vineyard, Château La Bougerelle.[2]

In 2011, residents complained about new constructions, including a roundabout, a carpark and block of flats, to the detriment of an old farm and century-old Mediterranean Cypress trees.[3][4]
