Aiguèze, perched above the Ardèche Gorges

Perched on a cliff, Aiguèze transports you back to its medieval past. Stroll amongst the reminders of this era: the Saracen tower, the old keep or the Castelas walkway, with a breathtaking view of the Ardèche. At the gateway to the Gorges de l’Ardèche Nature Reserve, this Provençal village invites you to relax: strolls through the cobbled streets, a refreshing break by the river and the chance to explore unspoilt nature.
