| Laudun is a picturesque village that is built on the slopes of a hill facing the vineyard-covered plain. |
 |
| The village has always been the seat of regional power, thanks to its position on the edge of the Rhone valley in this corridor that has always been an important path of communication and commerce. |
| |
The Romans settled the village during several centuries. They left many ruins, including the extensive site on the plateau above Laudun. Legend says that Caesar himself camped there during his invasion of northern Gaul (what is now France). The plateau now known as the "Camp de Cesar" is the biggest archeological dig in the Languedoc region. The history of those far gone times, including that of the vineyards that were planted, is written in the ruins. |
