A round stair tower set on corbels juts out at the corner of a stone house with barred windows, a stone trough and a banner striped red and white like the arms of the Sévérac family (argent, four pales gules). The town keeps thirteen such “maisons turriculées”, noble houses with a stair tower, scattered through the streets: a sign of their owners' wealth, the towers are often decorated with carvings.
