In the heart of the charming village of Durfort, surrounded by vineyards, emerges a large square tower pierced with loopholes which are the last traces of the Château de Durfort.
At the entrance to Durfort, the complete skeleton of the first European elephant, ten times older than the famous mammoths, the southern elephant, was found in the last century. It has since been exhibited in Paris. Thanks to this discovery, the people of Durfort have acquired free admission for life to the National Museum of Natural History! For prehistorians, the Durfort cave has provided valuable information, exhibited in the Nîmes museum, about the Chalcolithic period (2500 and 2000 BC).
