antiquity [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

The name of this town originates from Latin “Vitrolea” (glassware). If this site has not yet been identified, on the other hand, at the foot of Castellas , the presence of many remains of tegulæ (Roman flat tiles) suggests that a villa had to be there. Mount Piégros was to be dedicated to Minerve. We discovered a beautiful head of the goddess of wisdom which is now deposited at the Borely Museum in Marseille.

Middle Ages [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

The medieval village was then at the foot of the Castellas and the Romanesque church dedicated to Saint-Etienne was built at that time. Nowadays, it is no longer oriented as a result of enlargements made during the XVII It is century.

At XII It is century, this fief depended on the county of Forcalquier [ 13 ] [not clear] . When this county lost his independence in 1209, on the death of Guillaume II, one of his nephews, Guillaume de Sabran tried to raise him. After a ten -year struggle, he made an agreement in Meyrargues the With Raimond Bérenger IV, count of Provence and also heir to the county of Forcalquier. By this agreement, the southern half of the county, of which Mirabeau, is given to him. Guillaume de Sabran retains his half county until his death, around 1250 [ 14 ] .

Vitrolles, which came under the Viguerie d’Apt, was completely abandoned by its inhabitants between the middle of XIV It is century and the end of the XV It is , undoubtedly because of the epidemics of plague and the passage of the troops of Raymond de Turenne.

Modern times [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

The deserted lordship, fief of Jacques de Forcalquier, passed through her in her Gaucher brother, bishop of Gap. In 1483, the latter inherited the son of his sister, Georges de Castellane, with a testamentary clause specifying that on the death of her nephew she will return to her godchilder left of Brancas, lord of Maubec.

La Bastide des Ferrayes or Grand-Pré castle.

To increase income, the , he passes a housing act with nine heads of family, exceptionally they are not Vaudois but from the diocese of Gap. The current village and the Saint -Siméon church – transformed into a farm today – are built by these new arrivals.

His son, left -handed from Brancas, abandons the Castellas to settle in the new village in the “large house”. She will not be to the taste of Françoise de Brancas, née Cambis, who will resell it in 1676 to develop in her new Bastide des Ferrayes or “Château du Grand Pré”.

Then the fief was sold, in 1753, by Louis II de Brancas to Jean d’Ailhaud, the rich doctor of Lourmarin. The contract provided that it would pay 200,000 pounds over 6,000 pounds of pins [ 15 ] (!). It is he who will redevelop the “Château des Ferrayes”. He was the last lord of Vitrolles.
