Barjac – a medieval village with character

This Renaissance city of 1,500 inhabitants is located at the crossroads of the Cévennes National Park and the nature reserve of the Gorges de l'Ardèche. Classified as a "Village of Character" and "Organic Commune without pesticides", Barjac presents a renovated heritage of narrow streets, squares and esplanades perfectly adapted to host night markets and festivals.

To discover Barjac, we recommend the summer guided tours of the old center commented by Laurent Delauzun, heritage officer of the City of Barjac, every Wednesday at 6 p.m. in July and August, to learn more about the Renaissance Tower, the Lower Gate, the Upper Gate, the Chapel, the Church, the mansions and the fountains.

It was in Barjac that the very first organic canteen in France was born! And it is in this small Gard village that the famous and magnificent documentary "Our children will accuse us was filmed".

The Eschaton-Anselm Kiefer Foundation, 20 mins on foot and 5 mins by car from the Natura Lodge, reveals to the public the full breadth and complexity of the creative process of this accomplished genius. A former silk spinning mill in the 19th century, the estate currently covers around 40 hectares. Within it, 80 artistic spaces emerge, from the gigantic four-storey concrete amphitheater to the underground networks of crypts, tunnels, and other artificial ponds, not to mention the multitude of paintings and sculptures in situ.
