Le site archéologique du Bourguet

Excavations carried out in 1960-1961 on the eve of the flooding under the waters of Lake L'Escale led to the discovery of the most important series of ancient bronzes (statuettes and busts) in Haute-Provence.
During the Gallo-Roman era, when the Durance was relatively navigable, L'Escale was an important river port. The Bourguet site, located 1 km north of the village, was at that time a major residential center.
