It is dominated by its 13th century castle, impregnable fortress of 15 towers until the 15th century.
Only the tower, “Qui qu’en grogne” and the three towers in the north remain today. A costumed guide introduces the visitor to eight rooms recreating life in medieval times.

The SYSTEM of EDUCATION
in FRANCE
• French education system includes pre-school institutions, primary schools, middle schools and high schools.
• Attendance at French nursery school is optional, childcare being compulsory from age 6. However the ‘Maternelle’School welcomes about 23% of the 2 year-old children, 95% of the 3 year-old children and almost all the children who are 4 or 5 years old. They are free and secular schools. There are usually 3 forms corresponding to the different age levels in the kindergarten : the first one for the children from 2 to 3 called ‘Toute Petite Section / Petite Section’, the second one for 4 year-old children called ‘Moyenne Section’ and the third one for the 5 year-old children called ‘Grande Section’.
• Children at the age of 6 have to go to primary school.
