This space is a haven of peace offering huge landscapes in a protected environment that guarantees scenery and fresh air.

Above the village, the rock Brion opens the doors of the Parc Naturel Régional des Monts d'Ardèche with a view of the juices and volcanic Castle Rochebonne. It dominates the valleys of Eyrieux and Dorne. This strategic location has earned him build a castle there are some ruins dating back to the 11th century.

Many pastures allow raising goats and cows. Farmers cheese from the village will be happy to explain to you. Thus, you will enjoy the treats before eating cheese farm.

The church Jaunac built of local stone is a feature of the township. Indeed, it is located in the woods on a secluded headland above the village with breathtaking views. Its main facade is accented with a bell tower (triangular gable pierced bays where the bells swing), it has a nave and three chapels, like the chorus, are lit by a window. Choir and chapels are covered with paintings of the 19th century. Walls and nave have a colorful mural. So do not miss this exceptional architectural work (ask for the key to the village).

Do not forget to taste the creeks, so patties grated potatoes in the evening of the first Saturday after August 15. The Feast of the cove became a key event in the late summer.
