Where did the hamlets come from?
The hamlets were former farming estates that belonged to the different lords of the Château de Grimaud.
When the lords left during the French Revolution, some of the farms were abandoned because the farmers didn’t have the means to continue working on their own.
Some of them were able to gain their independence, but on the whole, this activity went into decline across the region due to the changing times and needs.
Some families managed to keep their family homes. That’s how the hamlets survived and continue to today.
Some of them have disappeared over the years but we can still see the ruins of the foundations.
