| Peopled by around 1100 inhabitants (called Quinciatons and Quinciatonnes), the village spreads out over 2205 hectares, 830 ha of which are planted with vines. It has been found that under Roman dominion a land owner, (a retired Roman legionary) called Quintius whose name is at the origin of that of the commune, lived here. Wonderful views (hiking routes for all levels) dotted with vestiges of history (3 châteaux, old stones and buildings in a lot of the hamlets) and a warm welcome on all the wine estates will delight tourists looking for simplicity an authenticity. |
