It was Duke Louis I d'Anjou, appointed King's Lieutenant General in Languedoc by his brother Charles V, who founded this bastide in 1373 on the ancient Via Aquitania. It was then called La Bastide du Duc d'Anjou. Situated on a plain, it is the latest bastide to be created in the South-West. The town was fortified and protected by moats and, like the other royal bastides, its consulate, also created in 1373, exercised criminal justice. It wasn't until the 17th century that the town experienced prosperity, thanks to the creation of the Canal du Midi and the construction of the port of Ségala, a small hamlet within the bastide founded by Pierre-Paul Riquet.
