Caux-et-Sauzens
and the Malepère area
|
Built on the first foot-hills of the Malepère area, Caux-et-Sauzens is located on the crossing of two old communication routes, the via Aquitania, important axis of the Roman Empire, and the road to Montreal. The origin of Caux-et-Sauzens seems to be a gallo-roman villa mentioned in "The itinerary of Antorum" and which represented in that time a stop on the way from Carcassonne to Hebromagus (Bram). |

The village of Caux-et-Sauzens |
Don't hesitate to take a walk through Caux. The village holds rests of its medieval fortification from the 12th century (for example in the rue du Portalet). The parish church is dated mainly from the 14th century. It contents a superb "Lady with child" in polychrome wood. The vicarage of the 16th century is today the town hall. On the "Place de la Poste", you can take a look at an admirable fountain and the charming wash-basin just behind. |
