The sumptuous Castle-abbey of Cassan rises from the midst of vineyards and olive groves, warranting the name of the little Versailles of Languedoc.
The origin of the Priory dates back to the 11th century, when a donation gave the church to some regular canons fleeing the then decadent cathedral chapter of Béziers.
Princely necropolis The Prieuré de Cassan is a beacon of spirituality in Languedoc. All those who lived in these places were all touched by the grace of the site, the religious fervor was continuous there.

Today the Priory is a setting for many events: exhibitions, concerts, classical music festival or thematic days
