The path Small Excursion (PR) of Flandonenque, signalized by the PNC, leads along the hamlet.
In the evening, you will be able to observe by good weather, a extraordinary starry sky, and many fireflies!!
This hamlet, was firstly quoted in texts in the Middle Ages and was the place of gathering of primarily german antifascists during the second worldwar. Alerted by local peasants, about thirty men of the resistance could escape on time from the attack of the militia on February the 12th, 1944, who dynamited all the houses of the hamlet. The hamlet remained in the state of ruins until 1990, when some young people undertook its restoration. Today, it is habited by about 20 inhabitants, of which the half resides there all year round.
