The middle-aged village named Poussan is a circular place in the region Languedoc. Thousand years... Of history... Many centuries shaped it and even gave it a soul.

The village was then called Porcan ,certainly due to the popular image they represented to honour the family founders. The fortified village is a beautiful example of these agglomerations in circular shape which is the first demonstration of the urban development

Poussan is quoted for the first time in the year 960. It is about the eleventh century that the agglomeration is going to take its shape around its castles: Montlaur in the twelfth century, Malbois in the sixteenth century and Garenne in the seventeenth century.
