FOLK ARCHITECTURE

The popular architecture of the village is a typical example of the architecture of the so-called Lathe Estrémadure, a system of most often wooden lattage and usually nailed or bolted to the frame to receive coverage. The houses have a ground floor built in masonry and a top floor developed from a wooden frame filled with pisés, all complemented by wooden balconies and small stone staircases. We also note the large tiles covering the part of the wall that can receive rain. All this is to be found in the most captured part of the village, on the land, the so-called Quartier district. In the highest part of the village, the bourgeois houses appear. Built during the expansion of thermal tourism at the end of the th and early th centuries, they are all in beautiful stone, display wrought-iron balconies and sometimes decorate their facade of modernist elements such as plant motifs or plume.
