Start at the top, at the collegiate church and its cloister, next to the tourist office. Go down the steep streets to Place du Marché, with the entrance to the Monolithic Church, pass under the arch of the Porte de la Cadène and climb to the Tour du Roy, the keep from which the wine festivals are proclaimed. Finish in the open-air cloister of the Cordeliers. Try the village's almond macarons.
