This picturesque village built of black basalt and white limestone is an ideal starting point to discover the Coiron plateau. There are 2 tables on this area.

Largentière was named after "Argentaria", the silver mining area. It was founded in the11th cent. The 12th century is a period of great development thanks to Emporor Conrad who allowed to town to issue coins. The town It was founded in the 11th century. The Counts of Toulouse, the Bishops of Viviers, and the Lords of Anduze, Poitiers and Balazuc owned the silver mines. In the 12th century, this medieval city retained great cultural and economic development thanks to Emperor Conrad who granted them the right to mint coins. In 1208, Largentière was placed under the authority of the Counts of Toulouse who succeeded the Bishops of Viviers. In 1730, Bishop François Renaud de Villeneuve sold the castle and the Barony of Largentière to the Marquis François de Beauvoir du Roure de Brison. In the 1830s the silk industry reached its peak, and silkmills flourished all around. Take time to explore this medieval city whilst wandering through the picturesque streets. You will discover the sandstone facades, the arcades, the mullioned windows and beautiful ancient doors. The castle overlooks the town. In 1716 the Bishop of Viviers sold it to the Count of Brison who decided to renovate the building in order to make it more comfortable. In the middle of the castle, the square dungeon also known as Bastide de Bonnegarde was built in the 12th century. It was left intact during the Revolution, and it became a Court of justice and a prison, and a local hospital later on. A few rooms are made open to the public during the summer medieval festivities. The visit includes several ancient reception halls. On the first floor is an exhibition called “One thousand years of history”, which recounts the history of the city. From there you can get into the dungeon. Notre Dame des Pomiers church (from the latin “pomerium” which means “limit”) was built between the end of the 12th century and the beginning of the 13th century. It was extended in the 15th and 19th century. Inside Roman influences can be seen, such as a 13th century sarcophagus and a 15th century pulpit. An interesting detail: there lies the skull of the Count of Saillans who fought against the revolutionaries and was beheaded in 1792. The stairs of the Montée Mazon, which lead to the church, were built of stone from the remparts in 1888. The 16th century Recollets city gate is part of the medieval ramparts as well as the bridge over the river Ligne. They are both well preserved. From the bridge, you can see the canal, which would have brought water to the city shops, as well as the 19th century Court of justice, on the hill opposite, which looks much like a Greek temple. Don't miss the town hall: the back of this building is typically Renaissance.

Oppidum de Jastres-Nord is a Gallic oppidum of the barred spur type, overlooking the River Ardèche. On the accessible side, it is defended by a monumental wall showing three stages of construction. The first is represented by a stone dry wall, and divided the oppidum into 4 acres, dating 130 AC. Then, the enlargement of the oppidum translates into a massive book luminous square towers engaged in the work. An external key, usually found in camps Roman and serves as a forward defence of the door, and the use of the mortar to bind the nucleus are observed in this second phase dating back to 80 AC. Finally, a third phase, about 50 AC, double this construction of vibrant, alternately round and square towers. The latter State more widely uses the mortar for siding and towers. The back of these fortifications is noticeable a habitat composed of houses interspersed by a network of different sizes. This site is the former Chief City of the Helviens place, prior to the creation of Alba Helviorum.

The village of Ailhon with its sandstone houses surrounded by maritime pines has stayed true to its roots. Highlight: the church is a fantastic example of the transition from Roman to Gothic architecture (12th/16th century). The Church :One must first stop in the centre of the square and take a look around to appreciate the harmony of its sandstone facades of identical height, dominated to the east by the church tower. The Village Square : There is a great absence from this square: the famous Sully of Ailhon. It is in 1593 that Sully had many trees planted to celebrate the conversion of Henry the IV to Catholicism, a conversion that enabled him to accede to the throne of France and bring peace to the kingdom after the religious wars. In Ardèche, three "Sullys" subsisted in the second half of the 20th century in Viviers and Dompnac and Ailhon. In his document on Ailhon, the erudite ardéchois, Albin Mazon indicated in 1898 that the tree, measuring 5.5m in circumference was hollow but still alive, perhaps because it was well watered being used as a public convenience. It lived still in the 1980s and hosted the gossip of the ladies of Ailhon or the Estramaïre, the tinsmith who came twice a year to install his brushwood, hearth and tin bath to re-tin the pots and pans of the village. In 1999, the town had to cut down the old trunk that had become dangerous, but it reconstructed it and gave it shelter ithe back of the church.

Eglise Saint-André d'Ailhon is listed as a Monument Historique and a great example of a church moving from the Roman to Gothic style. Definitely worth a visit.

Romans Bridge It is an unusual heritage that awaits the visitor, the bridge being almost 50m from the current bed of the river! It is on the route of the Antonin romans way, and cross the river Auzon. Be very careful to preserve your stones by not going up on the bridge, which is very fragile today

Remarkable natural site - Basalt columnar. Of volcanic origin, the Coiron has the shape of an oak leaf, formed by basalt flows during volcanic eruptions that occurred. It stretches from the Escrinet pass to the Rhône Valley and dominates the limestone lands of the lower Vivarais. It stands out very clearly in the landscape by its black cliffs which we call Basaltic Organs. We will find them near our villages like St jean le Centenier, St Pons, Mirabel,… You just have to look at the landscape to find them. Here the basalt organs which form vertically when the lava cools are clearly visible. The slower the cooling, the more regular the prisms (organs) are.

Little village surrounded by orchards and chestnut groves, very nice view. This village is surrounded by orchards and chestnut groves and is made up of several hamlets from which you get a really great view of southern Ardèche: it is situated on a 480m high hill. At the top of the village are the ruins of the Lords de Fages' castle, built in the 18th century and destroyed by a fire in 1825. The beautiful Saint André church with its Romanesque choir was restored in 1976 and 1995. There are plenty of walks, which start from the centre of the village.

The construction of the church date the 17th century. No remains of that period are present today, but its existence is referred to as early as the 11th century. Interesting elements to note can be found on the church's Roman style entrance covered by a more modern bell tower. It has a three vaulted arched entrance. The one on the right may date to Roman times and is embellished by a four legged human figure.
