Explore the village of Saussines like you've never seen it before with a guided tour led by the village winemaker, focusing on the history of local viticulture. The tour concludes with a presentation of the Marco Paulo estate in the family cellar, followed by a wine tasting.
Built on the site of a former priory, the village of Saussines features a series of winemakers’ homes representative of the agricultural history of the Vidourle region, the oldest of which date back to the 18th century, with their exterior staircases and ground-floor cellars and storage rooms.
The eastern edge of the village features a remarkable collection of wine-growers’ estates that bear witness to the prosperity of the late 19th century, with their grand gateways, private cellars, and “bourgeois” houses.
Its Saint-Etienne Church, a beautiful Late Romanesque structure, boasts a west facade of austere and monumental beauty. It is one of the best-preserved in the region.
