Carignan, a name that carries the weight of history and tragedy. From the mutilation of Princess Marie Therese Louise de Savoie-Carignan in 1792 to the French Army being driven out during the war, this place has witnessed both triumph and despair. The Battle in 1870 left its mark on maps and engravings, reminding us of the fierce conflicts that once raged here. The foundations low relief on the tomb of Francis I King of France serves as a reminder that even royalty could not escape the tumultuous events surrounding Carignan. One cannot forget the haunting image of Princess Marie-Therese Louise De Savoie-Carignan's head displayed in Paris after her tragic demise. As an intimate companion to Marie-Antoinette, she met a cruel fate during those turbulent times. Yet amidst these tales of sorrow and loss, there is also beauty to be found. The Princesse De Lamballe, with her Italian-French courtier background, brought elegance and grace to Marie-Antoinette's inner circle. Engravings capture her likeness for generations to admire. In present times, Domaine Jean Baptiste Senat stands proudly in Trausse-Minervois-Languedoc region where vines are meticulously trained using Gobelet pruning technique. Here lies a connection between past and present - a testament to resilience and renewal. Carignan may have seen its fair share of pain throughout history but it continues to stand strong today as a symbol of endurance.
