Frechet-Aure

Walks in the woods

Small village situated at 750 metres above sea level. The town hall and school were destroyed by fire in 1907. It has a mountain climate, with mild, hot summers and cold, wet winters. The village is the starting point for many walks.

The parish church of St Saturnin is of Romanesque origin, with a semi-circular chevet, a single nave and a small two-bay bell tower. The portal is framed in grey marbled limestone and has moulded leaves.
