Former Huguenot capital, Privas is one of the smallest prefectures in France. Nestled in the Ardèche Verte and gateway to the Monts d'Ardèche Regional Natural Park, the town has some notable buildings, such as the 15th century Diane de Poitiers tower and the Loius XIII bridge. “Capital of candied chestnuts”, it also shines with its chestnut puree and candied chestnuts which have earned it the label of “Remarkable site of taste”.

Privas is the capital of the Ardèche. Historically the city was one of the centers of French Protestantism during the Wars of Religion. It is also the birthplace of Clément Faugier who launched a company specializing in recipes based on the famous Ardèche chestnut at the end of the 19th century. Privas is therefore, with Aubenas, the capital of candied chestnuts and chestnut cream!
