It experienced growth in the 18th and 19th centuries with the expansion of agriculture and minor transport links. In the fictional timeline, it preserved agricultural traditions while adopting modern farming methods.

Economy and infrastructure: Agriculture—especially dairy, beef, and grain—forms the backbone. Small-scale artisanal production, local markets, and agritourism contribute to the economy. The village is connected by a regional road and a seasonal bus service; no rail line exists in the setup.

Culture and landmarks: The parish church of Saint Aurelia, a 15th-century building, is a local landmark. The Grassés Harvest Festival, held each autumn, features folk music, crafts, and farmers' markets. The annual event serves as a focal point for community life.
