3 points of interest
Plateau des Chaux
The Plateau de Chaux is a place where biodiversity is rich. The agricultural practices allow to host remarkable species and an important biological diversity (messengers, avifauna, orchids, insect pollinators).Throughout the valley of the Gervanne, dry lawns, slopes, clear forests and thorny moors abound of orchids from April to June. They are all protected. Do not pick them!Domaine of Arômes
The domaine of Arômes is a botanical garden of the Sanoflore laboratory, aromatic and medicinal plants are grown there in organic farming. The Sanoflore laboratory specializes in the distillation and production of essential oils.Beaufort-sur-Gervanne
With its vaulted passages, its old lanes full of history, its houses imbricated one in the other, Beaufort emits a little air of Provence. On the village square, the keep of an old castle, converted into a public garden will welcome you for a short stop. But it is especially in the Temple that the history of the village is read. Beaufort was indeed an important place of Protestantism.
