Heritage in Sauvian

The Church of Saint-Corneille-et-Saint-Cyprien dates from the 14th and 15th centuries. Its lower level contains an ancient necropolis with a sarcophagus. The Porte de l’Horloge dates back to the 12th century and is crowned by a bell turret. From the ancient necropolis and the 12th century to the 14th and 15th centuries, this spans a broad period of history.

Another historical trace is the Borne Milliaire de Sauvian. It was erected on a secondary road of the Narbonnaise; its function is associated with providing directions for travellers and convoys coming from Rome. An adapted offer is available at the Borne Milliaire for visitors with visual impairments. Thus, alongside its buildings, the historical theme also connects with former transport routes.

The Orb and the landscape

The Orb forms Sauvian’s northern boundary and feeds the plain. The Circuit Vignoble sur mer circular route runs alongside the Orb and past the Moulin de Saint-Pierre. This highlights two distinct landscape features: the river as a northern boundary and the landmarks along the route. When choosing what to focus on, architectural history and historical sites can be set against a landscape perspective featuring the river and the mill.
