To come back to the Valley, go around the cemetery to the North and enter the Roufelles neighbourhood and after going along the Canonges field and its pond once belonging to the monks, discover the Farm House of Cadoëne. The construction of these buildings is from the XV-century. Its name came from the old owners, a family whose ancestral home was the Manor of Cadoëne, in Saint-Etienne-Vallée-Française. Its fellows occupied honourable positions on the gentlemen’s list in the County. In 1305, three brothers of Cadoëne, who were horsemen of the king, were the witnesses of an agreement between Brémond d’Uzès and Guillaume de Random.
But the Cadoëne who occupied the most renowned position in our local history is the bishop who was also an eminent man during the Episcopal Occupation. He was first bishop of Saint-Flour before becoming the Bishop of the Uzès Diocese, from 1427 to 1441. He participated to the Bâle Council proceedings: he was considered as one of the prelates with considerable influence in the Kingdom. This is the one, Bertrand de Cadoëne, who received authorization to impose 4 deniers (currency of the epoque) per pound of meat sold in all the butchers of the city for restoring the cathedral and the Episcopal house.
