You'll most likely want to work with gravity and not against it when exploring this steep village. Start at the summit with the Vieille Eglise (Old Church) and its cemetery. The grounds of stately cedars surrounding this Romanesque church, which dates from the 1100s, provide the best vantage point from which you can view the valley's hill towns. Hours of this church are erratic, corresponding to the whims of the priest who performs Mass here at irregular intervals. Farther down the incline is the Musée de la Boulangerie, 12 rue de la République (tel. 04-90-75-88-34), dedicated to the authentic portrayal of the art of French breadmaking. Exhibits show all stages of the process, from planting and harvesting the grain to the final mixers and ovens that turn the flour, water, salt, and yeast mixture into warm, crusty loaves. The museum is open year-round Wednesday to Monday 10am to 12:30 and 2:30 to 6pm. Admission is 3.50€ ($4.55) for adults and 1.50€ ($1.95) for children 12 and under.
At the lower extreme of town, clearly signposted from the center, is the Eglise Neuve (New Church), from the late 1800s. Many people find the architecture of this church to be less than inspiring. You visit it, however, to admire the four beautiful panels from the Old Church. They date from the 1500s and are painted in the brightly colored German style to show the intensity of the Passion of Christ. It's open daily from 9am to 7pm.
