History and Culture
An older chapel dedicated to Saint Pons was enlarged and converted into today's Church of Le Rouret. The Church of Saint Pons was rebuilt in the 18th century on the foundations of a later Romanesque-style chapel and has a Baroque interior. It also has a square bell tower with three storeys, painted vaults with star frescoes, and a stained-glass window depicting Saint Pons.
The Château du Rouret was built in the last third of the 17th century, after 1671. It is partly registered as a historic monument and partly classified as such; it is under partial protection.
Paths in the Hills
Numerous hiking trails in the hills of Le Rouret pass through the Camp Romain archaeological area. Several footpaths start in the village and lead, among other places, towards the summit of Mouton d’Anou.
