With its ancient farms and chapel, the village is a treasure trove of history. A little jewel of tranquillity just a few kilometres from the hustle and bustle of the city, bordered by the Pas Aubry stream to the north, the Saugères stream to the east and the Grée and Pied Bercy streams to the west.
