A medieval city
Labelled a village of character, the town of Sauve has watched over the Cévennes foothills for over a thousand years. Old Sauve, clinging to the Coutach escarpments, has preserved its remarkable heritage, making it one of the most remarkable places in the Languedoc.
The medieval town of Sauve is revealed in a whole new way, thanks to the guided tour offered by the Archistoire app. Designed as a free, immersive exploration, this experience invites visitors to explore the village at their own pace, while accessing rich content directly on their smartphone.
Along the way, visitors are guided through a series of geolocated stages. Each point of interest reveals a different facet of Sauve’s history. Thanks to audio narratives, archive images and reconstructions, the application provides a better understanding of the village’s evolution, and allows visitors to visualize what is no longer visible today.
The route also highlights elements of our heritage that are sometimes discreet or inaccessible: architectural details, remarkable landscapes, traces of the old ramparts, or forgotten uses of public spaces. This sensitive approach enriches the stroll and invites you to observe the environment in a different way.
Accessible to all, the visit requires no accompaniment: anyone can start, stop or resume the tour as they wish. Whether you’re a local, a visitor or a history buff, the experience offered by the Archistoire app transforms the discovery of Sauve into a living immersion, where history is told directly in the palm of your hand.
