It is famous for its magnificent sandpits.
St-Maurice Fountain : at the bottom of the village, this small monument opens through a door that hugs a niche containing the statue of the Saint. Saint-Maurice, represented as a knight, is invoked for the cure of rheumatism. His pardon is celebrated on the Sunday following September 22^nd.

The quarries : along the road are the quarries of the "Chêne planté", the "grandes buttes", the "nid du Chat Huant" from which the granite blocks of the statues of the Callac Way of the Cross were extracted, and the Boulfrasses quarries.
