It has a calm communal life focused on agriculture and local activities. Its location makes it a good starting point for discovering the countryside around Quimper without being isolated from urban services.

The village has a parish church and several traces of local religious heritage, such as crosses and small rural chapels. Old rural buildings and boundary markers testify to a continuous occupation of this land. Local history is expressed more in the fabric of the landscape than through large monuments.
