This is the colourful story of a city dressed in pink marble.
Behind its ancient fortifications, the church of Notre-Dame d'Aquilon, built in 1507, still stands proudly with its elegant lion porch. The winding streets of this market town are lined with cellars, barns, farms, fountains and wash-houses.
