Aiguèze

Highlight • Settlement

Aiguèze is a small medieval village. There are still many remarkably preserved remains from the Middle Ages. Among these we can cite the keep, the Saracen tower or even the covered walkway which offers numerous views of the entrance to the Ardèche gorges reserve.

From Laval Saint Roman a good paved road leads through beautiful, varied landscape up to Orgnac-l'Aven. On the way you pass the small hamlet Le Garn. At the next following fork, keep right.
Near the village of Orgnac-l'Aven are the caves L'Aven d'Orgnac.

Roure Castle

Highlight • Castle

On the way from Orgnav-l'Aven down to the valley of the Ardèche you come through the village Labastide-de-Virac. Already on the way you can see the village with the pretty Château des Roure.
To this one can go up in a few meters. In addition to the ticket sale for the castle tour you can also buy drinks and snacks, which may be convenient in the structurally weak area.

Route de Bourg Saint-Andèol

Highlight (Segment) • Other

With the very nice climb from Vallon-Pont-d'Arc to Saint-Remèze, several road bike rounds can be realized. On the one hand, there are several options to get from the road (D4) around Saint-Remèze to the Gorges de l'Ardèche or to turn in the direction of Gras to the north.
The road is wide and equipped with a bicycle lane on both sides, so there is enough space for cars and cyclists throughout.
