A wild and vibrant valley...

This valley, which is both long and broad, has always been the natural and obvious path between the Rhône and the highlands.

It is easy of access and is generous with its many advantages for man. So why not settle there?

That is why today, to the delight of visitors, the traces of man are superimposed upon vigorous nature.

Dolmens, menhirs, hillside villages, fortified castles and also stone bridges and steeples play hide and seek with caves, abysses, churning rapids, sheer cliffs, quite beaches and vast sun-flooded expanses.
