Village of Saint-Gineys-en-Coiron

Inside the crater of this ancient volcano the cave dwellers amazingly carved their homes using the lava rock, even constructing a chapel to St. Catherine. The site made up a real village (over 30 of the caves have 2 levels).

Poor peasants still continued to live in them just up to the end of the 19th century.

It is one of the best examples of medieval cave dwelling in the South of France.

From the top promontory of Des Balmes you can see the site of the Oppidum of Cheylard.
