Open to the world, it is a city of human dimension where the preserved heritage and the city of tomorrow blend perfectly.

In the 16th century, a chapel was built in the village to replace the Castle chapel (named after Queen Jeanne of Naples); the chapel was restored and enlarged in the 17th century and dedicated to St-Denis, a saint venerated throughout wine-growing country in place of the god Dionysius.
