Laurens

Laurens is located 30 km from the Mediterranean beaches, at the confluence of two torrents called "Naubine" and "Sauvanès", which give rise to the "Libron".

Flora, particularly laurel, thrives here. That's why the Romans, as early as the first century AD, called the village the "City of Laurel". The 12th-century château is an imposing rectangular building with two storeys and an inner courtyard. Since 1982, it has housed the town hall, and just beside the castle, a bell tower rises above the entrance to the old village: this tower served successively as a lookout for the lord and as a belfry for the community. The church of Saint Laurent was opened for worship in 1786 and converted into a "people's house" (conference room) in 1923.

Origin of the name: Laurenc (1139). Laurentiis (1270) ("laurel")
