This hilly town is composed of a village-style centre, surrounded by luxurious estates. Jean-Jacques Rousseau lived here which has made the town a place of literary pilgrimage and gave it the privileged name of «Emile» during the French Revolution. The town was the birthplace of a great family, the Montmorencys, which, after centuries of glory, died out in 1632 when Henry II of Montmorency, the Governor of Languedoc, was decapitated in Toulouse.
