Archaeological walks

Balazuc July 16 to August 15

Balazuc, a small medieval village majestically perched on its rocky spur above the River Ardèche, with its ramparts, Romanesque church, fortified houses and calades, is a territory that conceals much older archaeological remains. From Neanderthal man, through the Neolithic period, the Iron Age, the Gallo-Roman era and finally the medieval period, take a journey through the millennia, discovering an exceptional heritage...and protecting it. The golden age of the village was the Middle Ages, when a seigniory gave Balazuc great importance in the local history of the Vivarais region. Until modern times and the French Revolution, a succession of lords left their mark on the history of the area, the Ardèche and the kingdom of France, taking part in some famous episodes.
