alive Viala-du-Pas-de-Jaux illustration of the agro-pastoral historic vocation of the tray(plateau) of Larzac.
Here, in fifteen kilometres of saint - Eulalie's commanderie
, no strengthened village but an exceptional high oblong tower of five floors which dominates of its sommitale, henceforth accessible(approachable) terrace, all the unlimitedness of the Limestone plateau which surrounds him(it).
This tower was built in the XV-th century for the safety(security) of the inhabitants, their possessions and their animals, next to the buildings(ships) of the knights of Saint Jean of Jerusalem who already existed at the beginning of the XIV-th century.

Quite all around, lavognes, maybe more numerous here than everywhere else, jasses, drailles, antique roads of transhumance.
The Limestone plateau, with its farmlands and its grounds of route(course) for animals, shows some determining influence of the natural environment(middle) on the man.
Patrimony surrounding :
Cross of road, dolmen, lavognes, baker's oven.
