Causses-et-Veyran

Straddling the Orb valley and the southern foothills of the Montagne Noire, the commune of Causses-et-Veyran stretches along the banks of the river to the south and culminates in Mont Peyroux to the north. It was formed in 1790 by the merger of the former parishes of Causses and Veyran. Nestling to the north of the fortified enclosure, the village forms a half-moon that embraces the castle chapel, forming a real "block". There are few streets within the enclosure, with the houses taking up the entire space by leaning against the enclosure or passing over the street via porches.

Origin of the name: Causse de caussiovuent from the Latin calx, lime, limestone. Veyran from the human name varius or verius and the suffix anum (the place).
