Known for its stunning floral displays, particularly the vibrant yellow mimosa flowers that bloom in late winter, the village offers a quintessential Provençal experience. The old town, perched on a hillside, features narrow, winding streets lined with pastel-colored houses, covered in bougainvillea and other fragrant blooms.
The village's history dates back to medieval times, evident in its architecture, such as the 13th-century Saint-Trophyme Church and the ruins of the medieval castle offering panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea and the Îles d'Or.
