History
The first traces of settlement date back to prehistoric times, but the village as it stands today took shape during the Middle Ages. The commandery was built at the end of the 12th century by the Templars. After the dissolution of the Templar Order in 1307, the estate passed to the Knights of Malta, who renovated it in the 16th century. The Hérault region has long been marked by the strong presence of the Templars.
