PUJAUT
Historic sites and monuments : Monuments et Patrimoine culturel
Description
Pujaut is a charming village built on the side of a hill that was protected by a castel destroyed during the Albigensian Crusade in the 13th century. The village dominates an agricultural plain which was once a lake that was drained between 1585 and 1611, leaving fertile land to be divided between the villagers and their lord who was the King of France. The drainage was financed and organized by the monks of the Chartreuse at Villeneuve who also built the fortified farms of Saint Hugues, Saint Bruno and Saint Anthelme. The village houses still reflect the important agricultural influence in the region.
Pujaut aerodrome is the biggest in France.
