Things to see and do

Walking through the narrow streets of Gourdon, you will be able to appreciate the church of the XIXth century. It takes again the typical architecture of this part of the Ardeche.

Archaeological site and remains of basaltic casting, the rock of Gourdon is a natural site to discover the time of hikes. The superb location allows a 360 ° view of the Cévennes, the Boutières, or the Bas-Vivarais. The sandstone removed from the site has long been used in the manufacture of millstones. At the top, Gallo-Roman vestiges were found.

Do not miss the Col de la Fayol, a pass of the Monts d'Ardèche. It takes place in the Parc Naturel Régional des Monts d'Ardèche.
