A beautiful little medieval village! Things to see: - Source du Vidourle (Sauve fountain) - The Sea of Rocks - The great Aven de Sauve (Be careful, don't get too close, it's over 40 meters high in places). - The shops/bars/restaurants, especially La Servanne, which I recommend. - The green trail, very pleasant.

Beautiful view of Sauve from the tower overlooking the sea of rocks (the isolated tower, not the Roquevaire castle). To get there, a path is clearly visible from the main path. You will have to climb a little at the foot of the tower.

Incredible spot, on the other hand the orientation table which indicates Moscow or Abidjan could have been a little more informative and indicated Mont Ventoux closer to us for example.

Magnificent new greenway. Coming from Anduze you have to cross the main road to get there by bike, but it's a real pleasure for almost 20km to Cardet
