In the South Ardèche, heritage and viticulture have a beautiful common history. Like the ancient city of Alba la Romaine. It is located in the middle of the vineyards. This has been the case since antiquity! And at that time wine was already being produced and sold, which benefited the wealth of Alba.
With an occupation of the territory attested since prehistory, favoured in particular by a strategic position between the Rhone valley and Nîmes, it is not surprising that a rich and varied heritage can be found everywhere.
The Bishops' Palace is another fine example of this heritage. Like the architecture of Bourg Saint-Andéol in general, it is the affirmation of the prestige and prosperity that the city has offered itself through trade and especially that of wine, again!
And this beautiful heritage, we are working to protect it! Like the vines, always very present, it gives character to the landscapes.
