A lovely walk to end a very happy day spent in these small towns. Wish we’d walked over during the day when there would have been sufficient light for photos.

Le Jardin d'Eden

The Garden of Eden is the former park of the Cordeliers monastery and the Notre Dame convent. It is a magical, authentic and historic place, full of basin, ponds and trees of various species : an island of coolness and greenery in the heart of the city. The Garden has managed to keep the charm of former days. Covering a one hectare area, it is surrounded by old ramparts and of its tower rebirth, narrow footpaths and a stream having its source at the top of the hill. One can still find remains of old dwellings and small bridges. Steps will lead you to the panoramic viewpoint through shaded areas. A quiet and soothing atmosphere radiates from this preserved haven of peace. The Garden of Eden offers a wonderful view over the Rhone and the twin towns of Tournon and Tain l’Hermitage; on the river banks facing the garden, you will admire the famous vineyards, remarkable for their terrace cultivation.

Historic Center of Tournon sur Rhone

Behind the impressive castle on its granite rock, seigneurial home of the Comtes de Tournon, is a maze of narrow streets meandering through the historic center. Since the Early Middle Ages to the 18th century the Tournons have left a great cultural heritage thanks to different monuments such as the Chateau de Tournon (see on page 7 “Our favourite attractions”) but also the Collegiate Church Saint Julien built in the 14th century with its magnificent frescoes in the Chapelle des Penitents. The town is then strongly fortified during the Hundred Years’ War, but it will expand beyond the wall after it quickly became prosperous again. In the south, the Porte de Mauves can be admired, the last stable door which once closed the town (there used to be 4) and where the coat of arms of the town is still to be seen. 2 watchtowers are left in the north and the south of the Sentier des Tours, a marked walking path which used to go along the wall in the 16th century. It is also a nice one-hour walk.

Chateau-Musee de Tournon sur Rhone

Located along the Rhône river, Tournon castle, a classified historical monument, dates back to the 15th ans 16th centuries. Thanks to its remarkable state of preservation and its medieval, defensive and avant-garde architecture, it is one the most beautiful castles in Ardèche. The Castle-museum is a place of memory. The Counts of Tournon, one of the most powerful families in the region, lived here. Visiting the rooms is a fascinating journey through time. The museum includes fine arts collections and Rhône river collections.

Reviewed By L0unita - Barcelona, Spain

The castle from outside is already gorgeous. So for a little price you can go through the different floors and rooms understanding who lived there some time ago and best are the views over the city of Tournon, the wineyards and the Rhône River. It is also important to have into account that during the summer (until 31st August) there is every night at 21:30h a gratis projection at the castle walls with music and typical motives of the history of the Ardèche zone.
