And some details
A little history
It was at the beginning of the 19th century, under the First Empire, that the Post Relay Service was created, which covered the entire territory. Mail was then routed by agents on horseback. To offer the riders of this new administration the “gîte” and the “covered”, in France, a network of relay cottages has been developed, including inns (for catering and rest for riders) and stables (to find fresh horses). The goal is to allow us to go as quickly as possible for the delivery of mail.
Thus, at Roquebrun, located some 30 km north of Béziers, near Saint-Chinian, on the banks of the Orb, a post house was erected.
These post houses were officially closed in 1873 and then converted into residential houses. Auguste Aragon, who was at that time country guard in Roquebrun, acquired that of his village in 1922. It was a high-rise, two-story house on a cellar.
