Marsanne is a very pretty little village where it is nice to take a break in the shade of its plane trees.

Flowering time of lavender is mid-July to the end of July, depending on the weather that year. Before or after that, this highlight is no longer worth a visit.

The owner of the Aubergistes restaurant is also the owner of the very nice Hotel Restaurant La Conserverie. Very nice retro interior. No two chairs or tables are the same. Also a nice terrace

The perched village is recognizable from afar, thanks to the white silhouette of the Saint-Félix church which culminates at the summit of Marsanne. For a complete tour of the site, let yourself be guided by the last vestiges of the Montluisant castle. Don't forget to pass by the Marsanne vines (whose grape variety is used in Côtes-du-Rhône appellation wines).

Pass which culminates at 395m. Nice view of the Vercors plateau in the background.

Built in a defensive position on the hillside, the old town of Marsanne has ensured the safety of its villagers since the 11ᵉ century. The medieval village is reborn thanks to a few Marsannais who are passionate about its restoration. Along the rue du Comte de Poitiers to the entrance of the old village where the passage is made by the high square belfry, the houses of notables rub shoulders. At the top, the former Saint-Félix priory and the Romanesque tower of the feudal castle dominate the entire Roubion valley.

Lavender fields bloom from June to July. However, depending on the weather and climate, the cut may occur earlier or later in the season. The harvest of lavender flowers is also coming earlier and earlier. It is therefore very common for fields to be cut before July 15th.

Very nice village, great for a coffee stop before riding uphill.
