Saint-Auban is a small, ancient village built in terraced formation at the foot of the immense rocky ridge known as Le Rocher de Tracastel. In the Middle Ages, this village had both keeps and ramparts.
To this day, the village has preserved traces of its medieval past with a number of ruins and a magnificent gate framed by portions of ancient wall.

Fall under the spell of the shady banks of Saint-Auban’s charming little lakes and the verdant plains surrounding the village. The narrow gorges (called clues) carved by the Estéron River will dazzle you with towering cliffs and dramatically sculpted, rocky river beds; in the Clue de Saint-Auban, you will find the Notre Dame de la Clue chapel set inside a cave.
