This village is situated on the banks of the Rhône, to the north of Codolet and Chusclan, and south of Pont Saint Esprit. Its landscapes are some of the most mountainous in the area. The first humans who came to settle in this region must have been fascinated by its favorable position among the hills, and in fact, several vestiges of prehistoric settlement have been discovered. The area was still inhabited during the Romanesque period, from which at least two religious buildings remain: the parish church on the bank of the Rhône and the chapel of Saint Pierre on the summit of a nearby mountain.
