Away from the current village, on the edge of a marsh, the clearing of Vernai preserves the remains of a vast ancient villa gradually restored. If the oldest occupations are still poorly known, the first villa erected in 40 BC already displays a model and techniques imported from the Mediterranean world. This establishment will be transformed from the beginning of the Christian era into a real rural palace extending over 13 hectares. After a phase of prosperity covering the entire Roman era, the villa will disappear in the fifth century to make way for another exploitation associated with a chapel at the origin of the current church. The last major occupation dates from the 13th century. The Dauphin then built a castle against the centuries-old church that he encompassed. This fortification will be destroyed at the end of the Hundred Years' War in 1430 and will never be raised. Since that date, the church has remained isolated in the middle of the clearing. Never replaced, this place of worship will be the subject of major restructuring works in the 19th century.
