Memorial of the old village where a ram and 7 ewes graze peacefully in the middle of lavender, almond and olive trees.
Inaugurated on November 12, 2000.
The memorial is composed of a photo of the old village, and a a plaque on which you will find 3 verses of Victor Hugo's "The Legend of the Ages" (to remember that another life once existed in this valley). It is situated in a space with the scents of Provence. The herd recalls the pastoral life of yesteryear.

"And all vanished; nothing remained but the wave.
Now all you can see in the distance is the deep water.
stirred by the winds and alone beneath the heavens."
