A little history
on the village of Saint-Saturnin
The first inhabitants of the Grands Causses were Paleolithic hunter-gatherers 300,000 years ago. Around 3,000 BC, they descended from the heights and began to live by agriculture. During the first 3 centuries AD, Saint-Saturnin was probably one of the suppliers of raw materials to Banassac, one of the most important pottery production centers in France at the time. In the Middle Ages, the village was one of the main crossing points between Séverac-le-Château in Rouergue and Banassac in Gévaudan.
