Built on a gently-sloping plateau near the Auvignon River, this fortified town carries the name of Lamontjoie de Saint Louis. Founded in 1289 by Philippe le Bel, the modest-sized bastide has not changed much since it was built, and features a church as the backdrop to the town centre. The town’s battlements and moat have disappeared, but there is still a rich variety of things to see, including the 16th century church, the 18th century Clarisses convent, and the homogeneous stone buildings.
