Having belonged to the Marquis de Tussan, the abandoned castle dates from the 18th century. Mainly in ruins, the surviving parts are outbuildings of the castle and the farm. There are also many species as well as century-old trees.

Located on an ancestral road used for millennia, the Roc Troué is a "gate" dug in the rock to cross a rocky outcrop to the old paved path (like our modern roads and highways dug in the mountains) .

Remains of an ancient necropolis between the Gardon valley and the Galeizon valley.

Several dolmens, dating from 2000 BC but sometimes collapsed and rebuilt until the 6th century, were used for funeral ceremonies.

Site with a very particular atmosphere, to see absolutely!

The Château de Sauvages (18th century) was a very beautiful residence that belonged to the Marquis de Tussan. By marriage, the castle and land passed to the Boissier family. Abbé Boissier de Sauvages, philosopher, geologist, mineralogist and botanist, lived in the castle for five years and created an arboretum. This is still there and there are different species and centenary trees such as large cedars or cork oaks. In 1912 the property was sold to the Rochebelle mines. 50 years later it was blown up. The buildings that survive today are nothing more than the outbuildings and the farm.
