Saou, Administrative division in Drôme department, France

Saoû spreads across 41.6 square kilometers of varied terrain, with elevations ranging from 288 to 1,567 meters in southeastern France.

Ancient settlements in Saoû date back 6,000 years, with Bronze Age inhabitants establishing communities at the Pas de Lestang archaeological site.

The village holds the annual Saoû Chante Mozart festival since 1989, bringing classical music performances to this mountain-surrounded community.

The municipality connects to nearby Crest at 16 kilometers north and provides access to over 700 climbing routes in the surrounding forest.

The territory contains Europe's highest perched syncline, forming a natural geological formation that defines the landscape of Saoû forest.
