The village tells its story…
Mentioned since the 11th century, Sauteyrargues has developed around its Romanesque church and its agricultural estates, in the heart of a terroir shaped by vine and livestock breeding.
Later, like many villages in Languedoc, it was marked by the Wars of Religion that shook the region. Its alleys and stones preserve the memory of a community attached to its land, between crops, pastoralism, and Languedoc traditions.
Not to be missed!
The Saint-Martin Church: Built in the 12th century, this Romanesque church with a single nave and semi-circular apse has been listed as a historical monument since 1975.

The dolmen of Mas de Vedel: Discreet megalith nestled in the scrub, it attests that the commune was already occupied over 4,000 years ago..
