Great old town. I love the narrow stone streets.

Vogüé, the charming village with small houses at the foot of an imposing rock face. Stone calades (small paved alleys), typical of the old villages in Ardèche with narrow streets beautiful to drive through and catch your breath.

A beautifully situated village with narrow streets. The large bridge is a great place to swim in the Ardèche. One of the shops, La Virginie Episerie d'Ardèche, on the grande rue, serves delicious goat ice cream and offers shady seating. They also sell snacks and many regional delicacies to give as gifts.

In addition to the magnificent terrain it provides for mountain biking, this small path which starts at the bottom of the valley offers a beautiful view of the Sampzon estate and its gîtes from its first few metres.

Embedded in the limestone of the cliff, the old town, classified among the "Most Beautiful Villages of France", forms an amphitheater at the edge of the gorges. A picturesque site renowned for its exceptional panoramas… Among the places to visit, the Château de Vogüé is worth a detour. In the old village, the tightly packed houses with medieval arcades on Rue des Puces, the narrowest street in France, meet rustic wells and more recent architecture... The Romanesque chapel proudly displays stained glass windows by Alfred Manessier. And the beach by the river promises moments of pure relaxation at all times.
