The small village of Saint-Cirgues-en-Montagne houses one of the smallest colleges in France, which strengthens its traditional position as a crossroads of this part of the Ardéchoise Mountain. The fairs were once famous. Like many villages, Saint-Cirgues originates from a castle in ruins, the castle of Des, visible from the The road. Then, as the saying says, «a city is a castle that prospered», the village developed along the river. It must be said that Saint-Cirgues was then located in the extension of the main road at the time: that which comes from Montpezat by the Pal coast. This lost importance during the creation of the road from Mayres in the th century, Saint-Cirgues nearly recovered it via the train: the Roux motor tunnel is the vestige of this project of a Aubenas rail link - Le Puy via Saint-Cirgues. The church of Saint-Cirgues-en-Montagne built around 1050 is a beautiful Romanesque church that you can visit. In particular, it has one of the most magnificent peigne towers of the religious architecture of the ardéchois plateau.

Who said there were no trains in Ardèche? In line with the famous Mastrou, an association revived the Railcar-Lignon tourist Line, resulting from the Réseau railway network which formerly linked the Rhone to the Loire, crossing the Velllave plateau. Closed in 1968, 2 sections were spared, including the Voies line in Saint Center. This tourist line is now at the rhythm of the trains of yesteryear through a superb landscape - the Lignon Gorges - until the altitude 1 040 meters in Saint-Center. A journey to be done in a time when you forget to take its time, breathe clean air and admire the know-how of the old.

A warm welcome by a passionate and exciting hostess, visibly love of Woodstock and his region. It doubles from a guide guide for the visit of the Provençal Museum of Folk Arts and Traditions, located in the same building as the union of Initiatives, a splendid th century house whose staircase is a marvel of its kind.

With the simple view of a map, we quickly understand why the man was very early in Woodstock. Ideally located on the axis rhone at a strategic location on the tracks of human migration from the Mediterranean basin to the north, the Woodstock site, and especially the cliffs dug by the river, will set the first populations in natural caves in 2 500 B.C. but it is the Romans, great conquerors and road builders, who will establish the first dwellings in the region, located in the region. Woodstock a place of interesting passage to defend. In the Middle Ages, a castle is built whose remains still dominate the city. A city that will develop in the Renaissance, leaving beautiful traces with homes whose rehabilitation today gives the heart of the city. In this coal-fortified zone in the Rhône region, agriculture is booming, from breeding to vine growing, which still continues today thanks to four wine-growers attached to their land. The first intersection occurred in the th century with industrialization and two achievements that will change the face of the village. First, the Tap Suspension Bridge, built by the Seguin brothers from 1847 to 1845. A bridge that has suffered over the centuries from the flood of the river, the mistral that blows in this parade as nowhere else in the Rhône Valley, and later by the bombings of the Second World War. A bridge famous by the upheavals he has crossed and the incredible landscape he reveals to passers-by. The other is the Chocolate chocolate factory built at the end of the th century. A unique factory created by the monks of Aiguebelle too much in their monastery to manufacture a renowned chocolate. A factory that will operate for almost a century - 1895-1977 - before it hosts a bold industrial project in the st century. To visit the Ruelles alleys, stroll along the Rhône River and stop on the holiday road, Volterra enjoys a beautiful stop reserved for the camper at the entrance to the city.

Désaignes's origin is "Disania", meaning Diane, Roman goddess of hunting. Moreover, a Roman temple bore the name of the goddess. And according to'd'Anglas, who made a thorough study on the subject, this temple would have been dedicated to the Roman Hercules which was distinguished by its strength. Another story of mythology, a hamlet of the name of Hermet might recall a place of worship at the Greek Hermès, God of commerce… What would join the fact that, since prehistoric times, man has passed to Désaignes on a road of merchants and mule. In addition to a Romanesque church, Désaignes also houses some medieval remains: the man's door - th century - and the feudal castle that survived the temple of his neighbour Diane. The rectangular wall wall is almost intact and one can still see fenêtres windows, a tower with a spiral staircase… The organ of the Protestant temple, magnificent and strange building with a dedication to Louis XVIII, weighs three to four tons and represents a volume of about 40 square meters. Its history is linked to that of the temple that took fire in 1962 and was rebuilt in 1965. Many Genevois Genevois and French organists came to Désaignes to make this organ famous for concerts. It should be noted that Désaignes has been engaged in the renovation of its heritage for 25 years and that the village should soon be rewarded by the award of the «Village of Character» label. A dynamic village that has conquered the heart of the Smart and deserves more than just a stop.
