ランス・レストングのおすすめツーリングルート

Listed among the Most Beautiful Villages in France, Saint-Antoine-l'Abbaye surprises with the richness of its medieval heritage. The Gothic abbey church overlooks a collection of cobbled streets, half-timbered houses, and terraced gardens.

I have seen it several times and it is truly a unique monument 🙂

Unique in the world, the Palais Idéal has inspired artists for over a century. Independent of any artistic movement, built without any architectural rules, the Palais Idéal was admired by the Surrealists. In 1969, it was classified as a Historic Monument by André Malraux, then Minister of Culture, as a work of naive art.

An exceptional site in a green, quiet setting with an exceptional heritage

Beautiful medieval village

The Galaure is a tributary of the Rhône river. A ford has been installed to cross it at this point. When the water level is too high, it is always possible to cross using the raised metal bridge.

Discovered a little by chance, I did not expect to miss it. These are the remains of a 15th century Franciscan convent, a little outside the village of Châteauneuf-de-Galaure in the Drôme des Collines.

Fording on the left and footbridge on the right. Left and right reversed depending on the meaning;)
