Saint-Remèze

Saint-Remèze is a rural commune in Ardèche situated across limestone plateaus between the Rhône Valley and the Gorges de l'Ardèche. The territory features Mediterranean vegetation, stone buildings, and cultivated fields interspersed with natural landscape elements.

The commune developed agricultural infrastructure from the 18th century onward, with the construction of terraced fields and stone walls across the territory. These structures show how residents systematically adapted the hilly landscape for cultivation.

Local residents practice traditional land use, maintaining vineyards, lavender fields, and olive groves that define the landscape character. These cultivation methods remain central to how people connect with and shape their surroundings today.

The town hall offers administrative services Monday through Friday and serves as the center for municipal matters. This is a small commune with limited tourist facilities, best suited for outdoor exploration and hiking.

The territory contains the Grotte de la Madeleine and numerous archaeological sites with burial mounds and dolmens scattered across the land. These underground chambers and ancient monuments reveal the region's long history of human settlement.
