Porte et maison de la Cadène

This pretty building is the only timber-framed house in the village and has a facade dating from the 16th century and foundations dating from much earlier than this period.
The Porte de la Cade`ne, the only interior door of the town, could take its name either from the Gascony word cadena, meaning "chai^ne", or from one of the owners of the house, Guillaume Renaud de la Cade`ne, who lived there in the 13th century. This door would have made it possible to socially adorn the noble population of the upper town and the more modest population of the lower town, thanks to a wine storehouse of which no trace remains today on the building.
