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.

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.
