Saint-Pierre des Tripiers is a small village on the Méjean causse whose long history sheds light on the past of the causse and its inhabitants Numerous archeological traces testify to a very old human exploitation of the region, from the first centuries of our era. After a decline during the High Middle Ages, prosperity returned around the year 1000, which led to the clearing of abandoned land and the development of localities on the causse, made possible by the increase in population. The enlargement, at this period, of the church and the buildings of the priory which are attached to it, testify to this development The name of the village was originally Saint-Pierre des Essarts (from the verb essarter: to clear) but, due to a lack of knowledge of the language of Oc, the central administration transformed it into Tripiers The hamlet still has a good number of old buildings, as well as a magnificent 28-metre high elm tree, labelled "Arbre Remarquable de France".
