💡 Tips
- The village is perched on a hill; wear sturdy shoes to explore the steep, narrow historical streets comfortably.
- It's a great base for canoeing on the Ardèche River, but make sure to book your river trips in advance during peak summer.
- Look out for 'Dégustation' signs along the country roads to taste local Côtes du Rhône wines directly from the producers.
