History

During the French Revolution, the citizens of the commune met within the revolutionary society, named "popular society of mountain sans-culottes" in Floréal year II. In addition, some inhabitants of Campagnan frequented the neighbouring society of Saint-Pargoire.

In the 14th century, the village formed a fortified square centered on the church. In the 17th century, a ball court was established outside the fortified walls. In the 18th and 19th centuries, houses were built using limestone rubble and plaster. The roofs were long and sloping, with lean-tos, and covered with hollow tiles.

In the 19th century, with the arrival of the railway and the station, a suburb was created to the south of the village.

Thanks to the vineyard and the train station, commercial activity in Campagnan is developing.
