In 1906, the municipality decided to launch a plan to build fountains and wash houses in each of them in order to supply water despite their remoteness.

    The village of Le Sautel consists of four hamlets located quite far apart from each other: Fouet, Le Fajou, Le Gréoulou and Le Sautel. In 1906, the municipality decided to launch a plan to build fountains and wash houses in each of them in order to supply water despite their remoteness. These routes are an alternative way to connect the GR du Pays d'Olmes to the Douctouyre valley. At the confluence of the Douctouyre and the Sautel stream, perched atop a circular hill, the village of Lieurac seems to follow its own construction, on which the current houses are built.

    Sights to see: The church, the Juncas cross
