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.

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.

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.
