NEIGHBOURING VILLAGES....Cazan

Cazan (5km) from Mallemort... boasts a rich heritage:

to the south, in an oak wood, you will find substantial remains of a 1st-century settlement which was destroyed at the end of the Greco-Roman period. Take the D22 from Cazan to the Château Bas estate, to the south of which the broken columns of a little Roman temple can be seen. Abutting the temple, you will find the chapel of Saint Cézaire. There is also a semicircular precinct, the substructure of a row of columns, and a pilaster and column wall in the purest Corinthian style. 
To the north of Vernègues, you will find an 8th-century necropolis, an oil mill, some polishing stones and a Gallo-Roman oppidum.
