Les Matelles, medieval village

Highlight • Settlement

The name Les Matelles comes from the Occitan language: las Matèlas. The radical mata means clump, bush, clump of trees.
The historic center of the village has retained its medieval appearance and offers a maze of narrow alleys and cobbled streets, with tall houses adorned with beautiful exterior staircases, vaulted passages and architectural details that take you back in time.

Castries Aqueduct

Highlight • Historical Site

The aqueduct is 6,822 meters long and has a gradient of only 3 meters. Pierre Paul Riquet had drawn up plans for a colossal aqueduct that could lead to the Chateau de Castries, the waters of the Fongrand spring northwest of the village of Castries, in 1676.
