Le Poët-Laval is a magnificent little village nestled between the Vercors massif and the Baronnies massif. It is one of the villages labeled "Most Beautiful Villages of France". What a pleasure to stroll through its pretty streets and admire its stone buildings! Dominated by an imposing medieval keep, Le Poët-Laval offers an exceptional panorama over the Jabron valley.

Interesting hilltop village with stone buildings, cobbled streets and an ancient Chateau at the top.

Le Poët-Laval is a French commune with 966 inhabitants. The inhabitants are called Poët-Lavaliens or Poët-Lavalliennes. In September 2010, the place was awarded the "Les plus beaux villages de France" award.
townscape:
- The medieval castle of the Hospitallers of the Comtes de Poitiers, which dominates the town.
- The half-ruined Saint-Jean-des-Commandeurs chapel with the tower rising above the semicircular apse is Romanesque. The first building was probably built at the beginning of the 13th century at the same time as the Château des Hospitaliers. It was severely damaged during the Wars of Religion and rebuilt at the end of the 17th century. After the construction of the new church in the lower village, it lost its function in 1895; in the 1930s the nave and sacristy collapsed.
- The Donjon, whose facade is pierced with Gothic lancet windows.
- The commanderie (salon des commandeurs) of the knighthood, flanked by towers, was built in the 15th century. Its facade is decorated with Gothic crosses - the eight-pointed white cross of the Maltese symbolizes the eight beatitudes of the Sermon on the Mount.
