Alba is bursting with 2000 years of history…What makes Alba so unique? La Roche's hamlet built around a basalt peak and the village established around the castle, also built on a volcanic peak. Located on the edge of the massif of Coiron, surrounded by vineyard, Alba-la-Romaine is proud of its rich historical past. This 2000 years old city has an impressive feudal castle, built on a volcanic dike, fenced by many houses that make it “character village”. Alba, former capital of the Helviens, a Gallic tribe, was, at the beginning of the 1st century AD., an active Gallo-Roman city before becoming the first bishopric’s headquarters of the Vivarais at the end of the 4th century. Today, we can discover the medieval village, clustered inside its 15th century ramparts. The entire village is clad in white (limestone) and black (basalt).The facades are chequered because of the basalt and limestone, local materials used to build stunning houses, given to Alba its particular atmosphere. The castle: at an undetermined period, the Bishops of Viviers have built a square dungeon on a basaltic dike around which the population formed the first castrum (fortified city). From the middle Ages until 1904, Alba bore the name of Aps, the family name of the lordship. During the French Revolution, the castle was ransacked and sold in 1793 as a national property. In 1880, a native started the castle’s restoration. Starting from 1914, several owners succeeded one another until 1975. The restoration began with the help of the Historic Monuments administration. Listed in the supplemental inventory of the Historic Monuments, the current castle, laid out on the foundations of the medieval castles, still has its substructure.

The mountain top of the Croix de Juliau offers a 360° panorama Are you dreaming of an adventure in the heart of nature, combining thrilling hiking and breathtaking views? Look no further than the summit of the Croix de Juliau, a unique experience in Ardèche! The climb to the Croix de Juliau is much more than a simple hike. The trail of the “Plein la vue” route (sheet 8 of our topoguide “Monts de Berg et Massif du Coiron”) immerses you in the preserved beauty of the Ardèche. Along the way, you will discover the local fauna and flora. Arriving at the top, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking view that seems straight out of a dream. The Croix de Juliau no longer sits enthroned, but the 360° panorama will still be there: your gaze will go from Villeneuve de Berg to the Dent de Rez, passing through authentic villages like Mirabel, St Jean le Centenier, St Pons, Alba la Romaine, and Valvignères, but also by Mont Ventoux, Coiron and Vercors. Don't forget your camera to capture these wide open spaces! Some legends attribute the name of Mount Juliau to Julius Caesar (who passed through there), but other sources contradict this theory. However, the Roman presence has been attested since the discovery of a villa, and a temple dedicated to the soothsayer Julius Caesar and Augustus (or Diana depending on the sources).

It was the one of the oldest and most important fiefdoms of the Barons of Aps. Located at the foot of the Coiron, the village was fortified by the 14th century. You can imagine the form of the village by tracing the remnants of the defensive wall. The narrow streets give to the village its character. Northwards you can observe different volcanic formations of the Coiron. Its narrow roads divide the houses and a number of them are typical, or traditional habitats. The hamlet of the Roche Cherie found at the foot of the neck one can find the remains of a castle tower. A chapel has been constructed at the 19th century with basalt rocks. The interior columns of the church are believed to be a part of an older building. This chapel was in ruins due to the passage f time but thanks to a big restoration work.

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.

This village was fortified at the Middle Ages during the 100 years war and some of its ramparts are still standing today. It is situated on the road leading to Alba at the border of where the black basalt columns and white limestone rock are found. This particularity creates a beautiful checkerboard effect throughout the village. The black basalt stones is why the town's saint is named, St. Jean the Black. The pathways of the village surrounding the church were once part of its fortification which have been referred to as early as 1137. The typical cobblestone roads and voulted archways at times have the old doors attached to them and are pointed out with a little plaque.

The Neck of Sceautres is the most important in Europe. There is a statue of the Virgen Mary at its peck. 130m above the village, the neck, plug of the old chimney of the volcano, allows us to discover the geology of the site. Between 6.6 and 7.7 million years ago, the relief was reversed following the birth of the Alps which generated the central massif. Lava flows filled the valleys and erosion caused basalt collapses. On the neck there was a castle which has completely disappeared today. The site is accessible to walkers, follow the signs.

Located at la Roche Chérie, the neck is accessible by car in following the little hamlet. You can park you on the site. It is situed between 2 ledges of basaltic rocks. For the future: extension of the crossroads and parking.

The chapel, coil up on a neck, has been built during the XIXth century to fight against the phylloxera (vineyards illness). In the future: laying out of the interior of the chapel, extension for the crossroads and parking.

Thirty caves, some of them consisting of 2 levels, have been carved into different places in the cliffs. You can still see how people once lived in the caves: beams, staircases, coves, skylights, gutters, grooving and seating. A path leads to this dwelling area which includes a chapel to St. Catherine in the northern part of the castle, this chapel is also carved in the rock.

Discover the remains of the Bastide Royale, in the heart of Villeneuve de Berg The Bastide Royale was created in 1284 by a deed of betrothal between Philippe III le Hardi, King of France, and the Abbot of Mazan. This established royal justice over the whole of the Bas Vivarais and built a new town with its ramparts, its corner towers, its war gate or gate of honour adorned with the coat of arms of the town, its royal house, now the town hall (under the courtroom you can visit the prisons). Ancient sundials can be seen in the streets of the village. The Bastide Royal was created in 1284 by an act of feudal association between King Philippe III le Hardi and the Abby of Mazon. This act installed the king's jurisdiction over all of Bas Vivarais or present southern Ardèche, and created a new city with its ramparts, angled towers, and fortified gates ready for war and adorned with the emblem or blazon of the city. The former house of the king is where the Mayor's offices are located today (below the Hall of Justice you can visit the former prisons).

After having cut his teeth in the brigades of Anne-Sophie Pic, in Valence, then Mathieu Viannay at La Mère Brazier, in Lyon, and finally alongside Jean Sulpice, at the Auberge du Père Bise, in Talloires (Haute -Savoie), he decided with his wife Margot to take the plunge by becoming self-employed for the first time. The couple met in 2017 in the establishment of the two-starred chef on the shores of Lake Annecy. He was a sous-chef, she an assistant head waiter. On the strength of all these cumulative experiences, Sylvain Volle thus summarizes these eight years in these great houses.

In fact, it was with Mathieu Viannay and at the Auberge du Père Bise that I really took the measure of the profession."
