Built on two symmetrical hillocks, the village itself lies on one side and its castle on the other. Archaeological digs in the area have revealed Gallo-Roman artefacts, while some ramparts still stand, dating from the time when the commune was part of the ancient Comtat Venaissin. Visitors wandering through Puyméras’ narrow, winding streets will be enchanted by its many beautiful old houses, typical of the region. The main amenities can be found in the lower part of the village, in the Barris area. |
