라 가르드 아데마르‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 천연기념물

The steep cliffs near Donzère along the Via Rhôna offer impressive panoramas of the Rhône and the surrounding landscape. The striking rock formations are impressive and invite you to take photographs.

These beautiful cliffs you see here are the Donzère gorge. This natural site is not a gorge strictly speaking, in the sense that only one of the banks, in this case the left, has a very steep slope plunging directly into the river. This remains impressive, because the cliffs are high.

Here – in the "Val des Nymphes" – a Christian church meets figures from pagan mythology. Nymphs were considered nature spirits or goddesses in the religious understanding of the time, but by no means as significant as, for example, Mars, Neptune, or even Zeus. They were a popular motif in the visual arts, offering the opportunity to depict naked or scantily clad female figures. The church found here, with the title "Notre Dame" (in German "Our Dear Lady"), which is widely used in France, is also dedicated to a special woman who, although not a goddess herself, according to Christian understanding participated in the divine plan of salvation through her unconditional "yes" to the angel's message: Mary, the Mother of God.

As you venture into the enchanting Valley of the Nymphs, near La Garde-Adhémar, you will discover a hidden oasis of natural beauty. This picturesque valley, nestled among rolling hills and lush vegetation, is a haven for nature lovers.

Nice quiet place, a way to cool down when it's hot...

"The Vauclusian fountains that form the Tourne river in Bourg-Saint-Andéol, a site regularly explored by experienced divers. This is rainwater that penetrates underground and forms a complex network of submerged galleries to flow into the valley at the foot of the cliff here" Impressive and beautifully located in an art park with numerous attractions all around.

Small, easily accessible cave.

It consists of three basins surrounding a central pole on which the statue of Dona Vierna rests. In her right hand she holds the deed of donation and in her left an oak branch, the symbol of the forest that she gave to the city. This achievement in white Carrara marble is the work of the marble workers Bouvas, Baussan, who were inspired by a model by the sculptor Delorme. The decorations on the three sides evoke the fauna and flora of the Laoul forest, a representation of the sarcophagus of Saint-Andéol and the coat of arms of Bourg-Saint-Andéol. The following names are engraved on the base of the stack: E.Rambaud, Maire, P.Laurent and E. Croze: Adjoints, Baussan Fils Architect, Baussan and Bouvas: Sculptor 1888. On another part: Restoration 1995 JMSerre Maire.
