History

Ramatuelle lies near St-Tropez, Sainte-Maxime and Gassin. It was built on a hill to defend itself against enemies. The town was known in the Middle Ages as Ramatuella (derived from the Arabic Rahmatollah i.e. رحمة الله 'the mercy of God')[2] and was part of the area ruled by the Moors of nearby Fraxinet in the ninth and tenth centuries.[3]

gollark: It is, at least, possible to vaccinate against novel things very fast now.
gollark: We could probably manage decently high populations without removing vast quantities of environment with better management and application of existing technology, but nobody is doing this.
