In the lower part of the village there is a curious and beautiful five-room fountain, built in 1829.

According to oral tradition, the population bought it back by paying its weight equivalent in wheat. There is also a more recent, three-room fountain dating from the beginning of the 20th century in the Place de l'église Saint-Laurent.

On the church square there is also a plaster millstone estimated at the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th century. This millstone was made according to Roman technical culture. This millstone is unique not only in the department, but in the whole Mediterranean area, which was Romanised. Wheels of this type could only be found in this geographical area until the 4th century, mostly for cereals and oil.
