Tips from the Community
The Templars' Castle in Richerenches is a special visit. Here, one can retrace the steps of the mythical Order of the Templars, who founded a unique commandery there. The Templars left a deep-rooted imprint on the land for 2 centuries before their departure; its architectural foundation is very beautiful, created by the Templars, a group of soldiers themselves inspired by the natural beauty of the territory. Inside, you can see tributes to the Order: It is a pleasure not to be missed if you pass through Rivesrenches, and it is the best-preserved commandery in Provence (a charming small village with a medieval style that attracts with its gastronomic truffles). A true historical crossroads and a lot of heritage to discover on site related to its past! Small village, great cultural richness.

Nice church. Simple interior. Shame you can't go right in to have a look around.

A nice backdrop for Instagram cyclists. The path past it is in good condition, and I'm usually too fast to get a closer look at the tower :-)
