Sollies-Ville, fountain
It was in the 16th century that little by little the inhabitants of Sollies-Ville descended to settle near the fertile banks of the Gapeau river and regrouped in small hamlets: Sollies-Pont (which had several bridges), Sollies-Toucas (where the Tocasso brothers lived) and Sollies Farlede (farlede means fennel in provencal).
It was in 1799 that the town was divided into four separate villages.
