An interesting little ARt Deco style building in Poussan.

My experience, Explo description: 

As I know (but I might be wrong), this building (as it looks now) was built in 1934-1936. It hosted the Caussel Hotel-Restaurant.

Then, it hosted the city hall.

Now, it hosts the police station, and the tourism board.

My personal recommendations: 

Have a look at the emblem of the village: a pig. The origin of "Poussan" name is linked to the word Porcel (in local Occitan language) which means little pig.

How getting there: 

The building is in the very heart of the old Poussan village. Hard to miss it when you go round the former ramparts.

A tip to eat: 

In Poussan.
