Sarrians

Small village in the heart of the wine growing region

Featured in
Towns & Villages
Updated

This small village in the Vaucluse is literally in the centre of things when it comes to wine growing. It has no less than 14 estates and vineyards in its vicinity, producing wines under the Vacqueyras and Côtes du Rhône labels.

The village originally came into being in the 11th century and its church was built in 1034. It was occupied by the Romans before that, as finds in the local area can testify. Even further back than that, flints have been found here dating back to prehistoric times.

You can see remnants of the fortifications around the old village centre as you stroll around the streets, take a look at Saint Pierre et Paul church and some very old stone houses. There is also a nice fountain in the centre of the village.

Various wooden panels and notices around the village tell you more about its history as you walk around.

Water plays a key part in the history of Sarrians, in fact its name is derived from an amalgamation of different languages, meaning 'major streams'. You can still see the canal and irrigation channels around the village. Pick up a leaflet from the tourist office which tells you more about this.
