At the top of the hill, on the rock ot St. Madeleine, and north of the present village, you will tind the ruins of the original community of La Mole. There is an eleventh century castle with a magnificent park which unfortunately is not open to the public.

St. Exupery lived there for some time with his grandparents and coincidence or not La Mole has an aerodrome.
