Vogüé, Medieval village in Ardèche, France.
Description
Vogüé is a village on the Ardèche river that forms a natural amphitheater along limestone cliffs. Stone houses are stacked in tiers above the riverbanks, creating a tightly woven settlement.
History
The Château des Seigneurs de Vogüé with its four round towers was built in the medieval period and has dominated the village ever since. The castle remains the defining landmark of the settlement.
Culture

Practical
The village sits on a popular cycling route, the Via Ardèche, which follows the river for long stretches. You can easily reach neighboring settlements by bike from here.
