Conas

The French village of Conas is mentioned for the first time in the texts in 1100. This village concerned the diocese of Agde.

Located at the south of Pézenas, close to a loop of the Herault, it was surrounded by vineyards and many olive groves. On the river several mills were built of which only one remained until our days.

From now on, Conas is a hamlet of Pézenas (Herault) since the French revolution.

The by-pass of Pézenas, built recently years, cuts the hamlet partly, thus removing exceptional vineyards.
