The Domaine is implanted in the Trévaresse Massif in the French village of Rognes where the Romans had erected an oppidum. "Oppidum" is a Latin word that described a type of fortified city or town in ancient Gaul. Typically built on hills or elevated locations, oppida (plural) featured defensive structures such as ramparts and fortifications.
