GR®429
From Dieulefit (Drome) to Viviers (Ardeche)
|
|
The GR429 is a true gateway between the Drôme Provençale and the southern Ardèche, traversing lands of resistance and spirituality, marked by the Huguenot refuge in Dieulefit and the centuries-old influence of the Bishopric of Viviers. Built heritage is the common thread of this hike: it begins in the pottery town of Dieulefit before passing through hilltop villages like Le Poët-Laval, listed among the most beautiful villages in France and a significant site in Protestant history. Descending towards the Rhône, the landscape transforms, transitioning from the pre-Alpine foothills of the Drôme to the limestone plateaus of the Ardèche. Nature here is abundant and typically Mediterranean: the trail winds between lavender fields, olive groves, and holm oak forests. The arrival in Viviers offers a magnificent finale with its Romanesque cathedral proudly overlooking the river.
