Aiguèze, Medieval village in Gard, France

The village sits on a limestone cliff above the Ardèche River, featuring narrow stone streets and traditional houses with red tile roofs.

The 14th-century fortress on the village's highest point served as a strategic military outpost controlling navigation along the Ardèche and Rhône rivers.

The parish church, recognized as a historical monument since 1993, contains decorative elements donated by the Archbishop of Rouen in 1910.

The village administration office, located in the center, provides local services and information about the community of 213 residents.

Aiguèze holds the distinction of being the first village in the Gard department to receive the Les Plus Beaux Villages de France classification.
