Mérindol remains in history for having been the scene of the repression of the Vaudois, a religious minority that came to settle there in the 16th century. Even today, this bloody episode is still vivid through the street names and a thousand other testimonies of the past. Like many other villages along the road to Oppède, the village was destroyed in 1545; its population was able to avoid extermination by taking refuge in the mountains. We leave the main road to take a short walk through the narrow streets, the 17th century oil mill (still active), and the church of Sainte-Anne, completed in the 18th century and listed as a Historic Monument.
