Explore the old town by letting yourself be guided through the narrow streets and thecalades. They will transport you to the keep, then to the chapel of Saint-Roch, located just a stone’s throw from the Porte d’Autan.
Follow the ramparts that surround the village, to soak up centuries of history.
Then discover the three towers of Cairanne, remnants of the Templar Commandery, as well as the parish church of Saint-André, blending Romanesque and Gothic styles. The charming chapels of Notre-Dame des Excès and Saint-Geniès are real invitations to a contemplative break.
Stop at the garden “Quenin-Constant”, laid out on the site of a house destroyed in 1944 by a German shell. The view over the valley and vineyards serves as a reminder that these territories belonged on the left to the Principality of Orange, in the centre to the Pope and on the right to the Kingdom of France.
At the foot of the Belvedere, in the Notre-Dame-de-la-Vigne-et-du-Rosaire chapel, marvel at the remarkable stained glass windows, which will illuminate your visit.
Marked by its historic past and renowned wine tourism, Cairanne is a village full of charm set in a picture-postcard setting.
Follow one of the many walking and hiking trails that criss-cross the commune, such as the GR4 circuit or the ‘bottle’ and ‘magnum’ circuits, and take in the panoramic views over the vineyards and the Dentelles de Montmirail.
