The first traces of settlement date back to the Neolithic period. Remains are still visible on the Sur Roque plateau: a dolmen and a stone arch. The village owes its name to the long rocky hill to the west. It is interesting for its pseudo-Romanesque church (renovated interior) and its polychrome statue of Saint-André as well as for its very beautiful pine forests.
Nearby, high up, the castle of Saint Martin de Tocques dating from the XNUMXth century has recently been restored. On the other side, you will discover the Saint-Jacques hermitage, formerly the pre-Romanesque chapel of Saint Martin de la Vernède. A footpath leads to the hermitage offering an overview of the Corbières from the heights.
