At the top of the hill (north of the current village) you will find the ruins of the first village of La Môle on the rock of Sainte Madeleine. La Môle has an 11th-century castle with a magnificent park, but unfortunately it is not open to visitors.

St Exupéry lived there for a while during his youth with his grandparents. Whether by chance or not, La Môle has an aerodrome in its municipality.

Don't miss the picturesque Route des Crêtes (527 m), which offers sumptuous panoramic views, and the Col du Canadel (267 m), which leads to the coast.
