Why come to Vogüé?
We’re here in the south Ardèche, just 20 mins from the Gorges de l’Ardèche. Vogüé is a village in Ardèche that’s both typical and unusual for the region. Nestled between the cliffs and the Ardèche river, overlooked by the castle and hanging gardens with a network of cobbled streets, arcades and medieval houses, bathed in almost-Mediterranean sunlight, Vogüé is an invitation to take it easy and enjoy the relaxed way of life.
Vogüé is classified as a French “Village de Caractère” (character village) and one of the “Plus beaux villages de France” (most beautiful villages in France).
