still going to be time to visit one of the most industrial cities, vibrant and prosperous northern l'Ardèche: Annonay

Annonay .-

This city was built, like Rome, on seven hills and still retains traces of a past steeped in history.

In the Middle Ages was in the way of the great pilgrimages. City hospital and religious, was a meeting and trade between l'Auvergne and the Rhone Valley.

day .-

Today we planned to visit the town of Tournon / Rhone. You can go by highway or by road. If you have no hurry, I recommend going for the national D-82, to follow the N-86. They are not fast, but the scenery is splendid. Calculate 45 minutes. If there is high traffic, an hour.

Tournon sur Rhone .-

Located at the confluence of the valleys of the Doux and the Rhone, Tournon is a city full of historic houses and picturesque streets. Currently has 11,000 inhabitants. It was founded by the Romans who settled here in order to monitor, from a vantage point across the Rhone Valley. Originally had 12 towers. Hence comes the name of Tournon, which means "tower." Currently, only two and, on top of one of them is the image of the Virgin.

Tournon has

a medieval castle built in 1332, that killed the son of Francisco I. Was owned by the lords of Tournon and passed, by inheritance, the Rohan family. Since the year 1809 is owned by the Municipality and today houses the Museum of the Rhone.
In this city, the engineer Marc Seguin, the inventor of the steam boiler, built, aided by his four brothers, the world's first suspension bridge made of tubular iron rope.

Desgradaciadamente, this wonderful bridge over the Rhone was destroyed in 1965 to promote inland waterway transport. This can be seen in the photo was built in 1849 and is similar to the original.

In this city offers the possibility to make a trip by train with Mallet type steam locomora. This is the "Petit Train du Vivarais" This line was built between 1886 and 1891, between Ardèche and Haute-Loire. This line, entirely private, Tournon through a tunnel and crossing an iron bridge over the Doux. Go through the Gorges du Doux and many nice places. You can also see "the color turns pierre, a huge stone, according to legend, turned every 100 years. After going through the "line of latitude 45 degrees (same distance between Ecuador and the North Pole) comes Lamastre and makes the journey back by Boucie-le-Roi. This trip has been suspended temporarily due to some restructuring work, but we were lucky to do several years ago, the first time we visited l'Ardèche. Within

of the city of Tournon, in front of the Church, is the Eden Parc is a private park. You are in a private home. You have to make an appointment in advance at the Tourist Office, which is in the Hôtel de la Tourette, near the river and in the heart of the city.

Eden Park .-

have to knock on the door like a particular house (it's a private house). After climbing the stairs that take you across the floor and the living room you are, like a miracle, within a yard so relaxing sounds like you're in another world. This beautiful place was the garden of the former convent of Notre Dame, within it, is one of the 12 towers surrounding the city of Tournon.

The current owner is a lover of ancient sites and is redesigning the place with exquisite taste. When I bought was completely full of weeds and fallen trees. It has a hectare of land and is acquiring all the beauty that must be beginning. It is surrounded by walls and small bridges and in the top called "Belvedere" you can admire an unparalleled view de Tournon and the Rhone. We left excited.

Now we go to the D-534 to head to a town steeped in history

Boucie-le-Roi .-

This beautiful village is located on the bottom of a beautiful green valley in the Doux river bank, between Tournon and Lamastre.
In 1291 the king Philippe le Bel (Philip the Fair) has formed a justice court to assert its power in the Upper Vivarais. For this reason I think a real town that depended directly on him. Thus was born Boucie-le-Roi.
This place was profoundly marked by Pierre Vigne, a missionary from Vivarais. He arrived here in 1712 and founded the Order of the Holy Sacrament in 1715. Pierre Vigne built with the help of villagers, Stations of the Cross called "The Great Journey" that still follows all Good Friday.

Strength and the medieval bridge are enrolled in the supplementary inventory of historical monuments since 1927. Leaving

Boucieu-le-Roi and take the D-578 that will carry us Lamastre. Come to visit another very tied to this land: La Ferme du Châtaignier (The Chestnuts Farm).

Lamastre At the entrance on your left and next to the gendarmerie, found a small road leading to Le Crestet. When making the turn you will see a sign color putting green "La Ferme du Châtaigner." We go up the mountain and, after about 5 km. find the place.

Châtaignier .- La Ferme du

Located in the middle of the forest, chestnut trees and olive trees. Grange belongs to the family for generations.
We entered the farm shop and were amazed at the amount of products that can be made with chestnuts. No flour, jam, cream, beer, liquor, ice cream ... and much more. This farm also produces jams and preserves made with vegetables and fruits around to provide work for its employees during the time in which the chestnuts are maturing.
The farm covers an area of \u200b\u200b24 hectares. The chestnut trees are huge, much larger chestnuts which we are accustomed to seeing. It is the variety of the Ardèche, controlled denomination of origin since 2006.
Aware of the economic and cultural richness of the chestnut, farmers were grouped in order to recognize the variety Ardéchoise as Chataigne d'Ardèche "(la Reine des Chataigner) which is the most precious of all France.
in this region are grown chestnuts from the Middle Ages, but it was the Romans who introduced it in large areas. In France there is more than 200 varieties of chestnut. 65 of these varieties are specifically the Ardèche.

brown

The process is very complex. When the plant is 2 years and an approximate height of 1 meter, a graft is performed to produce a variety Ardéchoise. The chestnut takes 8 to 10 years to produce fruit. To produce chestnuts "butt" takes 25 years. Mr Grange explains that a generation plant to the other: The chestnut trees planted his grandfather began to enjoy his father. Those who planted his father are now producing more chestnuts. Those who are planting it will be for your child. On the farm there are chestnut trees over 300 years.

We left this place happy, having tried various specialties obtained from the chestnut. This forest of chestnut trees is a marvel. It is a must if you visit l'Ardèche.

From Lamastre headed by the D-533, a Désaignes, village "character," only about 10 km. where we
