The Languedoc novel Jean l'an prés is the major work of Abbé Jean-Baptiste Castor Fabre (1727-1783); this author, little known to pure French speakers, is one of the greatest writers of the letters of oc. Jean-l'ont-pris contains many elements that speak of the daily life of the village or hamlet of Vaunage in the 18th century, this community being called Aubais or Solorgues.
