At the southwestern end of the Méjean Causse, between the Gorges du Tarn and the Jonte Gorge, the village of Saint-Pierre-des-Tripiers was born in the Middle Ages around a Romanesque priory of which remains the beautiful church of Saint-Pierre. Its name comes from the Latin Sanctus Petrus of Stirpetis, name under which it was known before the sixteenth century, that is to say Saint-Pierre des Défriches. But there are traces of much earlier occupation, especially at the summit of Mount Buisson on which remains a protohistoric enclosure of Celtic origin (6th century BC).
