SYNDICAT D’INITIATIVE
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.
