Description

Discover the multiple facets of Saint-André de Valborgne on its streets and lanes, calades (cobblestoned slopes) and paths along the riverside. Built alongside the Gardon river, the village of Saint-André de Valborgne has always lived by its rhythm. This walk reveals aspects of its history and the extent to which water has always played an important role: its presence has marked the landscape, from rivers to fountains, from spinning mills to hydroelectric equipment. This itinerary gives you a pretty overview of the village.
