The story
The surrounding area is a territory of vineyards, an ancestral land still dotted with several "capitelles" - these typical Roussillon huts made of a pile of dry stones (without mortar) - quite remarkable and perfectly preserved. As a highlight, the village of Cassagnes boasts a medieval palace listed in the inventory of French Historic Monuments, the Château de Cuxous, dating from the 12th and 13th centuries.
