Agriculture in Villes-sur-Auzon



Agriculture is the villages's main economic actvity.
The arrival of the grape vine brought about many changes. Both dessert and wine grapes are grown here, and produce the A.O.C. Ventoux wines. Madder, a plant from which red dye is extracted, has been completely abandoned, and wheat is no longer produced in large quantities. Cherry trees are now cultivated and the olive trees, that were damaged by frost in 1956 and 1962, are progressively recovering.
