of the castle
Perched over its
rock piton, the castle of Baulx, dominates the village. Simple turn
of guet at the XII century, protecting the baronnie from Pégairolles,
the unit knows during centuries various installations. At the XIXème
century it is described in ruin. Left to the abandonment, the covered
monument of vegetation, partly demolished, is bequeathed to the
commune in 1987. Dice at the time nait the project of safeguard,
of research of files, the excavation campaigns are produced under
the control of the historic buildings. It was not a question of
rebuilding at one precise time, but of showing to the visitors the
transformations with the liking of the periods of insecurity and
of calms. To save ruins the feudal castle, emblème of a whole
valley, here more than 10 years that the Association of the Companions
of Tras Castel probe, listen to, look at the stones. It is this
adventure which they invite you to share while showing you, thanks
