Like a sentinel of the past, Saint-Roman-de-Malegarde guards its secrets, witnesses to the times of the Knights Templar and the Hospitallers. On the left bank of the Aygues, this historic village can be discovered step by step, as fascinating discoveries dot its landscape.
Enjoy the shady square with its four majestic plane trees. Close your eyes and listen to the water flowing from the fountain… A Provençal tranquillity in the heart of Place de Verdun. Take time to contemplate the oak tree several hundred years old, immutable guardian of local legends.
As you make your way through the narrower and narrower streets, and as you climb higher and higher, let yourself be surprised by the fountain with the four masks, the 18th-century washhouse, the 17th-century parish church with its single-needle clock and the Maltese cross adorning its façade. At the highest point of the village, the old 12th-century castle appears, of which only three beautiful ashlar towers with archways remain, set into more recent buildings.
For a nature getaway, take the botanical trail of the Serre de la Garde. From its belvedere, you can contemplate this unspoilt nature and admire different panoramas over the Aygues Valley, the Pre-Alps, the Monts de l’Ardèche, the Cévennes…
Saint-Roman-de-Malegarde, a real little gem, offers you a break where all your senses are awakened.
