Pretty river running through Gaudardes. Refreshing.

The Cèze has dug channels and hollows in the landscape that converge and form cracks in which the river flows. Great to see.

Aigueze is a beautiful medieval village in Provence. It is ranked among the most beautiful villages in France, overlooking the gorges of the Ardèche, at the crossroads of the Gard (Nimes, Uzes), Vaucluse (Avignon) and Drome Provence, less than 30 minutes from the Pont d'Arc.

At La Roque sur Cèze, the Cèze has carved out a series of waterfalls with a height difference of up to 15 metres. The Cèze has dug channels and cavities which eventually join together to form crevices and rapids into which the river plunges.

Saint Roch, to whom this church/chapel is dedicated as patron, was born in the middle of the 14th century in Montpellier, France. He is popularly regarded as the "plague saint" - alongside Saint Sebastian. A characteristic feature of the depiction of Roch in paintings and as a statue is that he is usually pointing to a plague boil on his leg; a dog can also often be seen at his feet, because according to legend, when he was caring for plague victims, he himself became ill with the disease and withdrew into solitude, and the dog provided him with bread every day. The memorial day of Saint Roch in the calendar of saints is August 16th.

Beautiful church dating from the Middle Ages, but renovated at the turn of the 19th century in the neo-Gothic style.

The church is definitely worth seeing. Simply and moving.
