Running down the slopes of a hill in the Pyreneean foothills, Eus is classified as one of the 'most beautiful villages of France'. It is also said to be the village in France that gets more sun than any other.

Eus is quite small and it is the part of the village towards the top the hill around the attractive medieval centre and below the church that you will find most interesting.

Begin your visit at the Church of Saint Vincent at the top of the hill. The church was constructed in the 18th century on the site of a chapel that once stood here and formed part of an earlier castle. The church still incorporates part of the castle walls in its structure, and inside you can see the altarpiece and some primitive statues.

Behind the church there are still lots of ruins of the medieval chateau which you can clamber around. The highlight is the chance to admire the views in all directions from the top of the hill.
