The hamlet set in this tranquil region is a tapestry of fields of sunflowers and poppy edged wheat fields with numerous idyllic country lanes for quiet walks. Every Tuesday and Friday there is the colourful town market, where you can taste some of the local specialties. Or maybe try one of the many restaurants or bars.
