The Château de Châteauneuf-du-Pape is situated on a hill with panoramic views over the Rhône plain. The castle ruins date back to the 14th century and showcase medieval papal architecture. Wine lovers can sample the appellation's famous red wines in the surrounding area. The grounds offer numerous hiking trails between vineyards and lavender fields. Visitors gain insights into the history of the papal summer residence and the regional culture of Provence.

Beautiful to discover along the Rhône

Great place to picnic at the top with the option of a quick vin rouge at the tasting at the top

Between the vineyards and the Rhône, the ruins of Château de l’Hers tell more than a thousand years of history. Formerly a toll station and medieval lookout, this 10th-century relic, restored and listed as a historical monument, stands proudly on its rocky spur — a perfect setting for a soulful photo.

There used to be a castle and the settlement of Durban here. The chapel and other buildings are gradually being rebuilt with donations. Between the chapel ruins and the remains of a watchtower there are two picnic tables with a wonderful view of the area to the south and Baumes-de-Venise.

Perched on its promontory, the old village of Cairanne offers lovely views of the vineyards of the Rhône valley. Among its heritage, the ramparts, the chapels and the old keep are worth noting.

Very pleasant little road crossing the vineyard of Châteauneuf du Pape

Cute bar at the Château
