Empurany
It is on the church square that this small village cradled between rivers and Ardéchois mountains comes alive. You will have all the pleasure to go to the Oasis Lake for a fishing party before finding yourself at the village bar with friends for some refreshments.
Don't miss: Cherry festival on the 1st Sunday of July
Saint-Prix
The 300 or so inhabitants of Saint-Priège will say that they enjoy living in this preserved Ardèche, which feeds the general calm that reigns in this village lulled by the lapping of the river and the rustling of the leaves that fly in the wind.
Lamastre
Lamastre, arrival station of the famous "Mastrou", is a lively tourist town !
Not to be missed:
- Classic market (every Tuesday) and local farmers' market (every Saturday)
- Summer concerts every Thursday in July and August
- The Lamas'trail in early July
- The big flea market at the end of July
- Concerts, fairs, theater and sporting events all year round
Le Crestet
Here is a village that has managed to keep in place the vestiges of a rich local history. Fountains, castles, church, calvaries... so many elements which testify to the religious cleavage present at the time in Ardèche.
Labatie d'Andaure
Built on a rocky spur on the edge of the river "le Doux", it is on the church square that the character of the village is displayed! It is certainly the specific architecture of the buildings of the village which make this village unique!
Not to be missed: The basket fair in July
Saint-Basile
Saint-Basile is a commune, formerly separated in 4 hamlets: Saint-Basile, Mounens, Lapras and Cluac. Each one of these hamlets has kept its attractions : church, temple, chapel... and the Basilians are proud of it !
Gilhoc-sur-Ormèze
If you find "Gilhoc-sur-Ormèze" difficult to pronounce, you should know that this village first went down in history as "Gilhoschum". Even if today the village blushes every summer thanks to the numerous cherry crops, it should be remembered that this village knew the "golden age of the peach tree" from 1950 to 1970.
Saint-Barthélemy-Grozon
If the heart of the village is located on the church square, most of the events take place on the town hall square for obvious reasons of practicality. These unnamed inhabitants, born from a recent union of the villages of "Saint-Barthélemy-le-pin" and "Grozon" take care of this village.
