Loriol is a city in transition, besides the legend says that Hannibal himself would have camped here in 152 BC. To defend the city, the Emperor Aurelian had built a camp to become a medieval fortress. There are only faint traces of the ramparts of the city. You can also discover the overhangs of homes, a fountain and laundry.
