Culture and sights
- Château de Budos is home to the ruins of a 14th-century fortified château, remodeled in the 16th century. It was built by Raymond Guilhem de Budos, nephew of Pope Clement V, shortly after the construction of Château de Villandraut in 1305. Every year, festivals with different themes are held within its walls.
