| historique |
The village of Connaux was founded by Benedictine monks from
St-Pierre-de-Castres. Towards the middle of the 13th century, Connaux mostly
consisted of a vast marsh. The Benedictines went down into the plain and
built an enclosure with four towers on top of a rock. They built the first
houses of Connaux around a modest 13th-century Romano-Byzantine church. |
