Nestling in a meander of the Cèze between rolling hills and lush green valleys, Montclus offers a subtle balance between tourist fascination and nature conservation: part of the Natura 2000 zone, it boasts remarkable biodiversity, with preserved Mediterranean flora and fauna.
The medieval village, founded in the XIIIᵉ century, retains a square keep from the fortified castle, which proudly dominates the roofs of its white stone houses with high facades, narrow streets, vaulted passageways and staircases, all recently restored with taste and authenticity.
The village is surrounded by vineyards and lavender fields, whose summer blooms perfume the air and offer a visual spectacle worthy of a postcard – a setting so photogenic that it has inspired film shoots.
Don’t miss the emblematic and romantic Pont du Moulin, which spans the Cèze serenely, taking visitors on a tranquil stroll through clear water and ancient stonework.
