HISTORICAL HERITAGE :
The Castellas: It is probably on the vestiges of a Roman oppidum that was built the first fortified place, in the IXth century. A Carolingian fortress, the castle was built on a rocky outcrop, in a loop of the Salendrinque. This strategic place made it possible to supervise the natural way of access to the Cevennes from the plain. At its outlet, the Emerald Valley, a precious stone that reflects the green of the environment but also symbolizes light and renewal. Originally, gypsum was mined on the site, a mineral used to amend soils and to produce plaster.
