Roumoules

An establishment grew here, during the Roman occupation of Riez, that gradully grew into the village that evolved into the current Roumoules. Until the 15th century, Roumoules was annexed to the Medieval community of Saint Martin-le-Rimat, 4 km northeast. In the 17th century it became a Barony of the Grimaldi.

Gallo-Roman: In 1957 a Gallo-Roman sepulture complete with furniture was found here.
