That was the type of society that has been perpetuated, in accordance with the traditions, and who has long expressed in a rural landscape inseparable from the company that had created.One of these hamlets, Saint-Martin, the center of the current village, will become the chief town of fact and law, the Commonwealth, which since the 16th century, has set itself on common locations .
