A fortress was first built at the site in the 12th century, and was rebuilt by Foulques d'Agoult in the 15th century on the foundations of the earlier castle. It was restored in 1920.
In 1545 the town was burned down because its population was predominantly Waldensian protestant.
Its present mayor (2001-2008, 2008-2014) is
Blaise Diagne, grandson of the like-named first Black African deputy and member
of a French government.
