What is a “sauveté”? In short: a place where you are safe (“sauf” in French)!

It was a village or a market town built on seigneurial lands, around a church and its priory. Its territorial boundaries were shown thanks to stone crosses. The inhabitants benefited from a spiritual protection and a plot on which they could build freely their homes. They cultivated gardens and fields that were monks' properties almost always.
