La Garde-Adhémar
Member of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France
The Adhémar family made this rocky crest their southern guard post, and the village still watches over the Rhône valley near Pierrelatte. Its Romanesque church of Saint-Michel can be seen from far off, and a herb garden tucked below it looks across the plain. Cars stay outside the walls, so the old centre is explored on foot.

- The 11th-century Romanesque church of Saint-Michel
- The Jardin des Herbes, with views over the Rhône valley
- Fine-weather views to the plains and mountains of the Ardèche
