Its ancient architecture and commanding location allow you to immerse yourself in Séguret's medieval past while enjoying a beautiful view of the rooftops and surrounding vineyards. Descending towards the heart of the village, the 17th-century Notre-Dame des Grâces Chapel charms visitors with its peaceful atmosphere.

The fortified gates, witnesses to the history of Séguret

During your visit to Séguret, the village's fortified gates offer a fascinating insight into its medieval past and are easily accessible for families. The Reynier Gate, the former main entrance to the village, is a reminder of Séguret's essential defensive role at a time when the town was surrounded by ramparts. Passing through this gate, it is easy to imagine the daily life of the inhabitants and the need to protect the village from invasions and conflicts. Further on, the Huguenot Gate is another remarkable vestige of this period. It is particularly recognisable by its imposing iron-clad wooden doors, which have been preserved for several centuries. These heavy, iron-reinforced doors secured access to the village during troubled times, particularly during the Wars of Religion. Today, these two gates invite young and old alike to step back in time, while providing a pleasant break from strolling through the narrow streets of Séguret with a fun and informative discovery of its history.

The walk then leads to Place des Arceaux, built in 1714, recognisable by its elegant arcades and century-old plane trees that offer welcome shade on sunny days. Not far from there, the Mascarrons fountain, a listed historical monument, catches the eye with its sculpted faces and reminds us of the importance of water in village life. Looking up, the 17th-century belfry dominates the landscape, easily identifiable by its unique spire, a true symbol of Séguret. This gentle and accessible walk allows young and old alike to discover the soul of the village, between heritage, history and the Provençal way of life.
