History

Saint-Sulpice-the-point belongs to the first Albigensian Country houses. It is in four years that the Country house of Saint-Sulpice was built of 1243 with 1247.

This Bastide is a country house of Plaine, its finality is political and not defensive.

It respects a specific architectural model: the streets are rectilinear, the ordered trowels; its place with cover disappeared to allow the construction of the church (in the beginning it was out the walls).

It is not a question there of a lack of imagination but of an affirmed wish in order to be able to exert an easier monitoring. Genuine local development tools, this voluntary Town planning with the erudite organization, in an also economic concern, will be reproduced to hundreds of specimens until the 14th century.

The trade, a certain independence, allowed the urban development through the centuries.
