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. 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.

This dolmen on the top of the hill Ranc de Guilhaumet (336 metres high), right in the middle of the typical garrigue, is also called « the Giant’s tomb ». Long ago, people used to believe that dolmens were built by giants, fairies or elves. The chamber of this collective tomb from the Neolithic times, has a trapezoidal shape, with 3 metre long limestones. It was probably co-vered by a table stone. The whole tomb is protected by a pile of stones, 20 metres in diameter, known as a tumulus. The tomb was probably meant to be seen in the distance.

The river la Lande runs through the commune of Uzer, flowing for around twenty kilometres into the Ligne tributary of the Ardèche.

A number of built heritage features can be seen along the Lande, including - bridges - a viaduct which until the 1980s housed a railway line - sautes, dykes or "levees" topped with large stones to allow pedestrians to cross the river.

Roman church Notre-Dame de l'Annonciation : classified as a listed building in 1907) The origin of the church is unknown. It is important to notice that it's the church, and not the chateau, that is at the origins of the Vinezac village. If the square is mentioned from the 6th or 7th century, the building as we can see it today is mainly roman in style. It has undergone several modifications over the centuries: it was expanded in the 18th century by the construction of three chapels, before these were replaced in 1834 by two wide aisles. The big 17th century steeple and the little 18th century lantern also changed appearance. At present, you can admire the low relief called "Daniel in the pit of lions", archaistic in style (after the end of the 11th century) and the historiated capitals of the nave.
