So come and get to know the main historical and cultural curiosities of our town, a brief outline of which is given here: The Castel, dating from the 12th century, houses the Vaud vine and wine museum. The International Wine Labels Museum is situated in front of the castel, in the Dîme house. All of these buildings make up the Vine and Wine Citadel, where take place numerous cultural and gastronomic events.

The Jérusalem street is a picturesque little pedestrian street with paving stones and lined with old houses connected by covered footbridges. The parallel street, the rue du Bourg, is very typical too. You can also admire the market square and its town-hall, the centre square and its clock tower, the district of Le Cloître and its church.
