 The hamlets of Fajac-en-Val on the plateau above Arquettes, and Molières-sur-l'Alberte on the plateau above Villar, are also described by some commentators as being in the Val de Dagne.This is an area which for centuries has depended for its livelihood mainly upon viticulture, and has remained for the most part relatively poor.Villages and hamlets are of stone built houses, many of which, particularly on the main streets, incorporate the traditional large doorway to a chai - an area for wine production.
