The historic market town of Caux is a Languedoc jewel. The name of the village, Alode de Caucio , is first mentioned in a text from 961. Caux was founded as a Circulade , a circular arrangement of structures that enabled defense in the turbulent history of the region on all sides. During the Hundred Years War , Caux remained intact due to its fortifications, but in 1579 it was captured by a ruse of the besiegers during the Huguenot Wars . The village was burned down and the castle destroyed. The reconstruction of the village lasted until the 17th century and it was now connected to neighboring Pézenas (seven kilometers) via a new road . In 1909 Caux was electrified and a year later the first telephone came to town. Today, Caux offers its visitors a medieval church, archaeological exhibitions and all the necessary services of a modern holiday destination. Caux is known for its excellent vineyards.
