The Grande Vignolle (Lordly Dwelling) is a series of cave houses with a chapel and a so-called dovetail or Pigeon Loft, which became a lordly dwelling in the 16th century. A part of the underground structure is used as wine cellars for the Domaine Filliatreau wines. A part is a museum with wine tasting - and rather unusual - the visit and the tasting is free. Only the guided tours cost a marginal fee. Part of the underground rooms is rented for receptions between 100 and 120 people. They can be rented with or without meal.
