A living tableau of fantastic colours

The colours of autumn in the southern Ardèche transform this region into a living tableau of fantastic colours. This is particularly the case at Mas de la Fontenette in Labastide de Virac, on the edge of the Ardèche Gorges. The forests and vineyards are bathed in brilliant hues of red, orange and yellow, creating landscapes of striking beauty. The region’s rolling hills and deep valleys become a visual feast where every tree seems to be on fire.

Labastide de Virac, with its picturesque narrow streets and medieval castle, offers an enchanting backdrop for admiring the autumn colours. The hiking trails around the village allow you to appreciate the transformation of nature. Every bend in the road reveals a new explosion of colour. The contrast between the old stone of the houses and the bright hues of the leaves creates an almost magical atmosphere.
