Origins
Originally there was a castle in this small village which, along with the surrounding land, was ceded to the King of England in 1265 in exchange for the construction of a bastide outside the castle, it was duly founded in the name of St Eulalie de Puyguilhem. The bastide lived through several agitated periods during the fourteenth-century wars but, despite this, remained of relatively little importance.

What to See
The entrance to the town walls survives in the village square and a little further away are the ruins of a tower.

There is also a castle which dates from a later period than the bastide.
