In the distance it is possible to see the Convent of Saint-François. It was founded in 1451 by the Franciscans. It has four cloisters. The monks were expelled during the Revolution. In 1836, he was invested by the missionary congregation of the Oblates of Marie-Immaculate founded in Provence by Eugène de Mazenod twenty years earlier. Expelled by the anticlerical laws of the beginning of the XX century, the fathers return in 1936.
