History
The villages dates back to 920-940 AD, when Guillaume I, Count of Provence, had a castle built there.
In 1851 the village comprised 327 houses. Six years later, a railway was built.
The 393 m long Roquefavour Aqueduct, located on the territory of the commune, was built from 1842 to 1847 to convey water from the Durance to Marseille, as part of the Canal de Marseille.
