Tips from the Community
The chapel is worth it, especially if, like me, you ride up by gravel during the hottest hours of summer. But the work is finished and you can now enjoy a building in perfect condition (for a 12th-century chapel, everything is relative).

The chapel was built at the end of the 12th century or the beginning of the 13th century. They were built by the monks of Saint-Pierre, a Benedictine congregation, who previously drained the Tresques pond.

Caesar's camp is a large Gallo-Roman city (but occupied since the Iron Age), on the Lacau plateau. It is therefore not "a camp of Caesar" as one might imagine: the term appeared quite late in the history of France (but at a time when archeology was not really a science) to designate places where Julius Caesar would have established camps. The Camp de César is in any case an exciting place with many Gallo-Roman remains.
