The tribes: Nothing is known of the people who cleared the land. The first names are known Legures from beyond the Alps, small and brown. They were driven southward by the Celts from Central Europe, large and blond in 400 BC The Romans called them "Gallias" hence the name "Gauls". They were divided into numerous tribes, one of them occupied the country, "the Allobroges. It is from the year 50 BC that began the Roman conquest, which will take 4 to 5 centuries. The Roman Empire was invaded by barbarians and the country occupied by the Burgundians from 434 to 543 which, in turn, were defeated by the Franks. Around 700 began the invasion of the Moors who were killing and pillaging. Earls and barons had to defend their land. This was the beginning of the construction of castles and feudalism. The castle probably dates from this period.
