Welcome

Among the treasures that France conceals, there is one that it would be unforgivable to miss. The Ardèche river meanders between vertiginous limestone walls, flowing among whitish rocks, in the heart of unspoiled wild nature. As you walk its trails or go hiking through breathtaking landscapes, you discover endless diversity: volcanic summits, ridges offering breathtaking panoramas, majestic waterfalls, and basalt flows. In the surrounding area, there are cultivated stepped terraces, centuries-old chestnut groves, charming hamlets and mills which add to the picturesque charm of the region.

Come and discover our accommodation, our cultural café, the river and our gardens.

Our Association LA MESSICOLE offers shows, concerts and training throughout the year.
