Castel of Tournon, Historic castle in Tournon-sur-Rhône, France
The Castle of Tournon stands on a large rock formation beside the Rhône River, featuring multiple levels of Renaissance architecture and fortified walls.
Built between the 10th and 16th centuries, the Castle of Tournon received official historical monument status in July 1926 from French authorities.
The Castle Museum displays collections related to the Rhône River and Fine Arts, presenting exhibitions that span from Renaissance times to contemporary pieces.

Breathing in Ardèche means feeling the warm stone, the wind descending from the gorges, and the clear water stretching between the cliffs. Here, nature tells everything: caves hold traces of the earliest artists, villages nestle against the rocks, and bridges have connected the shores for centuries. Ardèche is not just a landscape; it’s an experience. We walk, climb, pedal, and marvel at the shapes water has carved into the stone. The Pont d’Arc, the Chauvet Cave, the deep gorges, the twisted woods of Païolive—all exude a raw, honest beauty. Between hikes, a hot chocolate in Tain, a castle visit, or a swim remind us that the real wealth here is the time we take.
