Courthézon, médiéval town

The history of the village dates back to the Neolithic era, or 6000 BC! Thus, one of the oldest peasants villages in Europe. Since its inception, at least sixteen names have been awarded including "Curtis Dunum" which means "village on the hill." Poets prefer his reference to love the Middle Ages Course: Provencal a "courtesoun" is a squire.
