The name Les Matelles comes from the Occitan language: las Matèlas. The radical mata means clump, bush, clump of trees. The historic center of the village has retained its medieval appearance and offers a maze of narrow alleys and cobbled streets, with tall houses adorned with beautiful exterior staircases, vaulted passages and architectural details that take you back in time.

Pretty shaded and bucolic site and you can stop there to savor the freshness of the water's edge or walk along the Lez along a well-appointed promenade.
