Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be working anymore. No water came out of the tap, and the sign was gone, too.

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”.

The view is beautiful on either side of the road.

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!

The castle is located on the basalt field of the old volcano of Craux and dominates the valleys of Volane and Sandron. The castle was built in the 11th century as a hunting lodge. It was occupied for the last time in 1944 before being bought by the municipality in 1994 and restored.

Nice view of the top of Montivernoux. The trail up to the summit is unpaved and only doable on foot or with an MTB.

Just around the corner of a house on the north side of the road. This tap provides fresh drinking water. Excellent point to refill your water bottles after the climb up to the plateau.
