The Ouvèze cycle route in Séguret

Dominated by the ruins of its feudal castle, the perched village of Séguret, listed as one of the “Most Beautiful Villages in France“, evokes a Provencal cot with its cobbled streets and fountains steeped in history. From the houses at the foot of the village, admire the medieval remains, including the Porte Reynier, or “Portail de la Bise”, and the Porte des Huguenots. As you climb up the main street, let yourself be guided to the Mascarons fountain, listed as a Historic Monument, and the single-handed clock dating from 1680.

Continue on to the Sainte-Thècle chapel, a venue for art exhibitions, then on to the communal oven, a testament to life in days gone by, brought back into use during local events. Climb up to the Romanesque church of Saint-Denis and its crenellated bell tower for a breathtaking view of the Rhône valley and the Dentelles de Montmirail. An orientation table will help you identify the surrounding countryside. On the way back down, take a break in the peaceful Place des Arceaux, shaded by plane trees classified as Remarkable Trees. Walk along the ramparts for one last look at Séguret, this exceptional village where heritage and nature are poetically united.
