Provence Holiday Rental Villas for Provence Saavy Visitors
Rochemaure is a small medieval village at the foot of Mount Coirons in the Rhône Valley less than 5 minutes from Montelimar, the famous provencal city of the Nougat candy. Rochemaure,surrounded by its sunflower fields, lavender and hiking trails, shares a delicious parfum and transports our guests into the French History up to the time of the Romans. The name "Rochemaure" comes from the Latin roca maura, in French roche noire meaning "black rock" because the castle mount is actually composed of ancient volcanic rock.
Rochemaure holds a most significant place in the history of France. Not only does it possess a castle from the XII Century belonging to the famous Adhemar family, but the village is home to the chapel "Notre Dame Des Anges" from the XIII Century, the Castle of Joviac from the XVI, a church from the XIX century, a suspended bridge from the XIX Century classified among the best 100 French bridges and a famous natural volcanic spring exploited by the Romans which continues to provide drinkable water to the villagers & guests (some locals attribute therapeutic virtues to this spring).
Our charming vacation property, the Lys of Rochemaure dating from the XVI Century and the Studio Tournesol rest inside the castle walls and welcomes you today with all the comfort of a new home.
