Go upstairs

Some viewpoints are easily accessible

the Tower of Albon
from the village of Grand-Serre
from the village of Saint-Avit
from the chapel of Sainte-Euphémie in Saint-Uze

What’s for sure is that you won’t be disappointed with the panoramic view you’ll have at the top.
Blow, admire and photograph!

We can see

the Drôme & the Ardèche

at the same time

And yes, the Drôme and the Ardèche are only separated by our beautiful river, the Rhône. Two departments so close and so different in terms of landscapes.

In Ardèche, hillside landscapes (where our Saint-Joseph grapes mature) while on the Drôme side, we will be more on plains and hills.

Move away a bit on the Drôme side, to admire the Ardeche right across the street and vice versa. Like here on the route of the randonnée des 3 Croix in Andance.

The panoramic parade

of Saint-Vallier

6 million years ago, following an earthquake, the Mediterranean Sea was cut off from the Atlantic Ocean. The drop in the level of the Mediterranean and the formation of the Alps will create an extremely powerful river, which will dig the Saint Vallier gorge to a depth of 400m.

Following a new earthquake, the Mediterranean Sea takes back its place and fills the Saint Vallier gorge.
