Wide circuit of Annonay and its surroundings

Description
From the beech groves of Grand Felletin up to the Rhône's balconies, the beauty of landscapes and the diversity of sites will guide you throughout your stay.
In the Deume valley, the most densely populated, you'll discover the architectural features and monuments (castles, the medieval village of Boulieu-lès-Annonay) that contribute to the region's richness and bear witness to its history. On the other side, you'll enter the Vocance valley, a mountainous region where coniferous forests alternate with chestnut groves, meadows with rugged rocky areas. Here, life has long been organized around a sylvo-pastoral economy. Along the way, you'll enjoy the freshness of the undergrowth, the pure, high-altitude air from the Chirol cross to the Roche des Vents, and the charm of the many streams that gush out of the mountains to die off in the Cance.
Leaving these mountainous reliefs behind, the plateau you'll be crossing stands in stark contrast. Its mild climate, flat relief and predominantly vine-growing and fruit-growing agrarian landscapes will remind you that you're at the gateway to the Rhône Valley.
Welcome to the Haut-Vivarais!
