A settlement, known as Bitrona, was established in Roman times in the valley, 5km from Bonnieux, where the Via Domitia crossed the Coulon you should visit the well preserved Roman Bridge (Pont Julien 3 B.C.). The settlement was later moved higher up on the ridge to its present location and fortified in order to offer protection against marauding bands of Franks, Arabs and Berbers.
