- The republican monument erected in 1889, symbolizing the history of La Roche de Mûrs, reminds us of the republican concepts of liberty, equality and fraternity, where 600 republicans perished, some of them by throwing themselves off the cliff, during the battle against the Blancs on July 26, 1793.
