Located between Remoulins and Pouzilhac, this charming 12th century village offers its inviting shaded square with a refreshing trickling fountain. The name of Valliguières (Valle Aqua : valley of water) appeared for the first time in 896. During the Hundred Year War (1392) the commune built its walled fortifications. The remains of Roman presence and the former fortifications plus the Romanesque chapel are a further invitation to stay and enjoy this village. The main economic activity is wine making.
