The whole of the ruins extends on 3 hectares, including the village (the Villette), that is to say a hundred houses sheltered behind a first rampart and the castle itself.
Property of the family of Uzès, the lord residence will cease being inhabited in 15th century At the time of the wars of religion, the site finds its military utility: Invested by the Protestants in 1573, it will be consolidated and fortifications refitted. The Catholics will come however to end and it will be finally destroyed at the 17th century. Work of restoration has been undertaken for a few years and the visit makes it possible to discover a fabulous medieval unit.
