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.

The chateau is privately owned and not open to visitors, September 2024.

Open on sundays only because of lack of volunteers

Pretty well preserved ruins. On a not too busy road. Ideal for cycling ;)

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.

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.

The château is worth a visit
