Geography

History

The village of Villeneuve was built on an uncultivated ground which belonged to the goods given by the emperor Charlemagne before 896, with one named Valchaire which built initially some constructions and a church, and which little by little, by the addition of other constructions formed a new City, from where etymology of Villeneuve.

According to Mr. Pavillet, author of History-genealogical of the family of Villeneuve, one would have given to the village the nickname of Villeneuve it Crémade (burned) because it had been burned by the Albigensian or by the Aragonese in 1220. One indeed finds this denomination with volume XI of the History of the Languedoc of Dom Vaissette, and in the registers of the notaries of the surroundings until the XVIIIe century.
