History and Culture

Domène is home to a Benedictine priory dating back to the agricultural and religious era around the year 1000. The former priory church of this Benedictine priory is dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul. At the end of the 19th century, the discovery of “white coal,” meaning the use of hydropower, changed the historical context of Domène in the region.

The Domène market was established in 1869 and has taken place on Thursdays ever since in the town center on Place Stalingrad, also known as Place de la Mairie, in front of the town hall.
