Hamlet of Dio (commune of Dio-et-Valquières)

Highlight • Other

A visual shock: you arrive in Dio! Sheltered by white limestone cliffs and emerging from the red earth characteristic of the surroundings of Lake Salagou, the village nestles under the imposing silhouette of its castle, a true legendary fortress. Its construction began in the 11th century to defend the border between Aquitaine, which had become a possession of the English, and Languedoc. The castle, renovated over the past twenty years by its current owner, hosts events and guided tours. The medieval hamlet is also currently being renovated and hosts several tourist accommodations. Friendly advice: stop off at Castelou, at Fred and Michel's... Passionate about the great outdoors, they are the perfect hosts!
