Village de Villeneuve-Lembron

Le nom de Villeneuve indique que le village s'est formé tardivement. Il a été édifié à partir du XIIème siècle autour de l'hôtel d'Aureille qui domine le bassin du Lembron.

The name of Villeneuve shows that the village was formed late. It has been constructed from the 12th century around the Aureille hotel. We can see there the square tower that offers, at 20m high, an exceptional point of view. This tower is probably one of the last of this kind standing in France. We can also see the hotel from the 13th to the 15th century, a rampart from the 15th century and wine-growing buildings from the 19th century. You can discover the castle of Rigaud d’Aureille, listed Historical Monument, and which is a rare example of seigniorial castle from the early Renaissance. It has superb mural paintings; some of them are represented as morals. The castle can be visited all year. The washing-place of La Mouleyre is also a place to see.
