About 500 meters down of the medieval village, on the other side of the the main road, you find the modern center of Poet-Laval/Gougne, whith the town hall (Tourist Office tlf (0) 475 46 44 12) a Post office, parking facilities for coaches and cars an accommodation facility for groups, a regional non expensive restaurant (Bistrot “Tous les matins du Monde” tlf (0)4 75 46 46 00 ) and a supermarket. Close to the town hall an interesting ancient temple of the 19th century, property of the the Protestant Dauphinois Museum. At present under restoration, it will become a reception centre for hikers on « The Trail of the Huguenots" with a gathering place for seminars and workshops, specialised library, etc.
