Protected from the Mistral by the Ventoux and surrounded by hundred-year-old plane trees, this village with its colourful facades has known prosperity thanks to the exploitation of wood, ochre and silkworm. Now grapes (vat and table) and cherries are part of its reputation.

The village, situated at the entrance to the Nesque gorges, was once surrounded by ramparts, which explains the circular shape of its old centre. The walls, built of Saracen stone, bear witness to this medieval past. Once the main gateway to Villes sur Auzon, the Great Gateway (18th century) conceals the access to the old prison under its arch. The Mascaron fountain is contemporary to it, and was put in water in 1783.
