Le chene des iles FERAY

South of Tournon, many lovers of seasonal, fresh, and delicious vegetables come to the Martin farm.

 

You're entering the territory of the Féray Islands. As you head back toward Mauves, you pass a remarkable tree on your left, a solitary oak that must have survived the Revolution, Martin and other prominent landowners told me.

 

To trace your genealogy is to trace that of the neighborhood's residents: the Férays.

Delphine la bergère de Vallon pont d'arc - Episode 2
Delphine la bergère de Vallon pont d'arc - Episode 1

Discover the story of Delphine, the shepherdess of Vallon-Pont-d'Arc, in 2 episodes.

 

...It's hot, Anet and Joseph are breathing, and Henri, the guide, leads the way to the peak; the caves are nearby. Against all expectations, our travelers encounter a young woman on the mountainside, on an isolated rock, with a melancholy, pale face beneath a large hat that protects her from the sun. Dressed simply, she is beautiful with her regular features, sitting on a bed of dried moss, busy knitting stockings.

Les seigneurs de Tain

Jean Roquebrun tells you about the origins of Tournon and its lords during the Middle Ages.

 

The lives of the lords of Tournon are scattered throughout the books, and it was the manuscripts of the Marquis Antoine de la Tourrette, written in 1763, that gave him the idea; the Marquis had delved into the archives of the Château de Tournon and his own archives to respond to Dom Bourotte, who was writing the history of Languedoc.

 

The manuscript was later completed by the Marquis de Satilleu.
