Château de Saint-Michel

Highlight • Castle

Culminating at 800 meters of altitude, the castle of Saint-Michel, at the origin "CASTRUM of the TRAJENA" * is a landmark of the southern Larzac.
Its history is rather imprecise, but the archives concerning the village mention a fortress in 1206.
It was the object of many lusts before being one of the last fortresses to fall into the hands of Philippe-le-Bel when he decided in the fourteenth century to annihilate the order of the Knights Templar.
Long neglected and before it falls into oblivion, works to stabilize its ruins to the impressive proportions were carried out in 1992.
* CASTRUM = fortified place TRAJENA: pilgrimage way

Saint-Genès Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

The Saint-Genès chapel dates from the 12th century. It was rebuilt in the early 1880s and restored again in 2008. Well worth the detour!
