An area extending from the Roland Grotto (Grotte Roland) to the Red Point (la Pointe Rouge) and up to the Marseilleveyre hills which belonged to the Pastres family in the middle of the 19th century. 3 castles were built there at this time :
- The most prestigious, the Pastré castle, which was the site of numerous festivals during the Second Empire and the Occupation and which now accommodates the decorated pottery museum with more than 1,500 neolithic ceramic items is waiting to be discovered.
-The Estrangin castle, whose style inspired the middle class residences of northern France, and is today occupied by an open air centre at the 4th sector’s Town Hall
- The Sanderval Castle, more austere, which has remained private property.
