Barjac

Highlight • Settlement

Barjac although located in the department of Gard is bordering the department of Ardèche and is at the threshold of the Cévennes.

In this town of barely 1,600 inhabitants, you can explore both the gorges of the Ardèche and those of the Cèze.

Its castle, which dates from the beginning of the 17th century, houses the town hall, but also the cinema, the library and a room for exhibitions and shows.

Barjac is known for its many markets and fairs. There are two markets per week out of season and in the middle of summer you can have up to three markets including one at night. Inquire at the town hall to find out the days and times.

Actually, the route from Vallon-Pont-d'Arc to Barjac only runs straight along the country road, but I made two detours off the side over small streets that are worth it. By the way, visiting Barjac on Friday for the market was just like having lunch at Patio39 - the ravioli are very tasty and the service is super friendly.
