Buildings renovated into lofts, English courses for children (Little Bilingues), restaurants (one French The Dulcinéa, the other Korean). The Dulcinéa near the place Saint-Louis receives the Sunday the families who come to the market around a glass, it hosts temporary exhibitions of artists, signatures, autographs, and organizes summer concerts, the Sunday market day. The patron saint is very focused on the decoration has an rv regularly parked in front of the bar.
