Inheritance

Mislay you in Sauzet, will not lose you the head there. Antiques maxims engraved with the bottom of the windows will bring back for you to the reason.

" DE.LEGIER.VOVLLOIR.LONGVE.REPENTANCE.1564" * known as one. The old village is a maze of lanes leading to Courtine, a place in top of the hill, close to the residence where the Dolphin remained, future king Louis XI. Whereas it returned in Sauzet after a part drives out in forest of Saou, it failed to drown while passing Roubion with Charols. Without really carrying out it, you crossed two enclosures while going up, the second being that of the castle built towards 985. This last was already in ruins with the XVIIe century. Some elements of decoration still cling to the old walls like rafters painted in red and two stones of sink on the northern side. Opposite the church Saint Lambert built starting from 1100 rises. It was amply restored after the wars of religion, the date of 1672 is engraved on the keystone of the main door. While going down again you will have the embarrassment of the choice to leave by one the three doors the fortifications, from now on bored other openings. The wall is known under the name of " vingtain" , it was the tax which was used for maintaining it. If your steps lead you to the White Gate, close to two bakeries, you be with the starting point of a historical course of which you will undoubtedly already have seen the panels randomly of the old streets. The curious ones will turn back more. You in the labyrinth of Sauzet mislay!

has weak will, long repentance.
