The perched village is recognizable from afar, thanks to the white silhouette of the Saint-Félix church which culminates at the summit of Marsanne. For a complete tour of the site, let yourself be guided by the last vestiges of the Montluisant castle. Don't forget to pass by the Marsanne vines (whose grape variety is used in Côtes-du-Rhône appellation wines).

Built in a defensive position on the hillside, the old town of Marsanne has ensured the safety of its villagers since the 11ᵉ century. The medieval village is reborn thanks to a few Marsannais who are passionate about its restoration. Along the rue du Comte de Poitiers to the entrance of the old village where the passage is made by the high square belfry, the houses of notables rub shoulders. At the top, the former Saint-Félix priory and the Romanesque tower of the feudal castle dominate the entire Roubion valley.
