 History
This ancient church was built on the site of a gallo-roman farm (mansio) used as a resting place for the travellers on the Via Domitia after the ford on the Berre, situated at Villefalse.
A fortress was then built to protect the passage on the Berre river and to facilitate, in the event of attacks, the defense and the regrouping of the several watchtowers.
This road then takes the name of Via Mercaderia and passes directly to the foot of the current domain of Lastours, on a solid bridge with five arches spanning the river.

 The roman period with Caeasar
The first contact with the Romans goes back to 118 B.C. This is when Consul Domitius Ahenobarbus builds the Via Domitia between Nimes and Narbonne to re-enforce his ties with Italy and Spain and his colonisation up to Toulouse.
The most tangible signs of the Roman civilisation were the grand villas and large estates, sometimes as large as 1000 hectares, normally situated near the byroads.
A legacy from the Roman period is the suffix AC which is found at the end of a number of names of towns and villages in Aveyron.

 French news - A new section of the Via Domitia comes to light
As a result of certain clues that surfaced in 2004, a new section of the Roman road, the Via Domitia, and a Roman bridge have been uncovered.
Evidence of occupation were also uncovered which provided a bonus for the archeoologists as it provided the opportunity to date the site precisely and to establish that humans had lived here from the first century BC, an era previously unknown on the Via Domitia, relating to the Roman ‘republican’ period.
The base of the bridge dates back to this period, although the archeologists found that it was rebuilt at a later date during the ‘imperial’ epoch.

 Paganism in Provence - Vincent Bridges
By the late first century CE, Arles had also become an ecclesiastical center, a position it would retain for the next millennium, partly on the strength of its legendary cemetery, the Alyscamps, and its association with the early church and its relics.
Perhaps the most famous necropolis of the Dark Ages, the Alyscamps (from Elisii Campi, or Elysian Fields), was built outside the city walls, as were all Roman cemeteries, and along the Via Aurelia, the main road to Italy and Rome.
Ernaginum, instead of an infertile wilderness, was an important city on the Via Aurelia linking Arles, and points to the west on the Via Domitia, with Rome.

 History & Language of Provence (Chapter 1)
The Via Aurelia (or Aurelian Way) was the main artery connecting Rome with Spain, following the Italian coast to Nice and Fréjus, then proceeding inland through Le Luc, Aix, Salon and Nîmes (essentially the same route that the RN7 takes now).
Following the Herculean route that Hannibal had taken during his invasions,Via Domitia descended the mountains by way of Embrun, Sisteron and Apt to join Via Aurelia, while Via Agrippa led north from Arles to Avignon, Orange and St Paul-Tros-Châteaux.
In all, the Romans built thirteen thousand miles of roads in Gaul, a small part of the two hundred thousand miles they built throughout the Empire.
