Perched high on a rocky promontory, the village of Thines, a haven of peace in the commune of Malarce-sur-la-Thines, in the Ardèche Mountains Regional Nature Park, contains a gem of Romanesque art named as an Historic Monument by Prosper Mérimée: the 12th- century of Church of Our Lady (Notre-Dame), remarkable for its imposing door, its chevet and its sculpted capitals. Other places to explore are the narrow lanes and thackstone roofed houses, which, together with the church, make Thines a place full of authentic charm.
