To explore this picturesque village, follow Avenue de la République to Place des Tilleuls, where you’ll find Saint-Germain church and its 19th-century bell tower. Then take the rue du Belvédère next to the church to reach the recently restored salle du four banal. Today, the oven is used occasionally throughout the year during festive occasions. This street leads to a square where you can discover the old ramparts of the village, where a few arcades remain as well as the facades of medieval houses. Look up, take a breath and enjoy the magnificent view over the valley and the Giant of Provence.
On the way back down, join the square in front of the Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs chapel where a pretty stone fountain and its covered square invite you to relax.
To extend the pleasure, take the forest paths starting from the village to discover the surrounding nature and vineyards. You can also reach l’Ouvèze via the hamlet of Beaumettes.
On the outskirts of the village, don’t miss the charming Romanesque chapel of Sainte-Colombe, surrounded by oak trees. As you continue on your way, you’ll come across an ancient washhouse and a spring whose legend has it that it cured sick eyes…
Faucon is a genuine invitation to wonder, an open door to history and the surprising discovery of Provençal charm at unmissable viewpoints.
