Holy narrow ways
Itinerary details
Everything that embodies Ardèche. Discover two villages whose narrow streets will lead you to their beautiful churches, impossible to find if you don't take the time to stop.
Continue the spiritual route as you rise towards sublime panoramas.
As soon as you leave Gilhoc-sur-Ormèze, the St-Etienne church opens its doors, where after a road of « l’Ardéchoise » will take you to the village of Colombier-le-jeune. Linger a few moments to visit the Notre-Dame de l’Assomption church. Take the Col des Croix road and the Croisières route where the views will follow one another, sometimes over the Doux valley and northern Ardèche, sometimes over the Rhône valley and the Vercors. Then complete the course not missing the view of the Château des Boscs.
