Château des Roure

Castle and silkworm breeding farm built in the late Middle Ages, listed historical monument in 1978. A major site during the religious wars in the Vivarais until the Camisard Rebellion and one of the largest silkworm breeders in the area. Splendid day out for the whole family.

A Castle Museum was a built to defend the ancien road which crosses the naural "Pont d'Arc". It is a focal point of local history : the wars of religion and the camisards revolution. An insight into country life.

Discover the complete life cycle of silkworm breeding, from live eggs to moths. The re-creation of the work of silkworm breeders and mulberry tree plantations.
