Old partly dilapidated settlement, which is obviously still inhabited. Worth seeing and interesting with a great view.

Perched on its rocky outcrop, the castle of Vallon dominated the plain at the entrance to the Ardèche gorges, offering a magnificent view of the southern Ardèche. Built in the 11th century, it was destroyed in 1628 during the wars of religion. The houses nestled at the foot of the castle were gradually abandoned in favor of the new town built in the plain, and are now falling into ruin.
