This is a town steeped im history. A town while not built around a town square as such or
a bastide like a lot of historic French towns,it does follow the same principles. The other difference being the central houses are arranged lengthways so that each may a frontage onto the square.
Before the existance of the buildings on each side of the corn exchangethis was a vast space covered with covered arcades.
There are a number of plaques located around the town to help you with it's facts
The cathedral of St Maurice whose foundation stone was laid in 1298 was not completed as it seen today until the 19th centuary. The one span knave of 22 metres is believed one of the biggest in Europe.
