La Roque-sur-Cèze
Member of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France
A tiny medieval village gathered on a limestone knoll, La Roque-sur-Cèze looks down on a river crossed by the Pont Charles-Martel, a bridge thought to date from the 12th to 14th centuries. Nearby, the water has bored the Cascades du Sautadet into the rock: deep round potholes, striking but dangerous. The gorges around the village are protected as a Natura 2000 site.
