Labeaume

Labeaume is on the La Beaume river to the south of Largentiere, in south-eastern Ardeche. It is one of the Ardeche 'villages of character'.

A little different in nature from the other 'villages of character', Labeaume is based around an open square with a church and has a handful of old streets to explore as expected, with ancient houses lining narrow alleys.

The 14th century Church of Saint-Pierre aux Liens itself is also rather unusual, with the belltower supported by two substantial stone columns.

The medieval quarter is less extensive than some vilages but more than compensated by two particular features in the village:

1) There is a track that winds up at the back of the village, past houses and through trees, until it reaches a very impressive viewpoint across the village and the cliffs along the river that stand opposite the village, and

2) The main attraction - the river beach. Between the village and the river, with the cliffs opposite, the river has a good sized stretch of beach where children (and adults) can paddle and play in the river in a very picturesque location. An old bridge also crosses the river at this point.

Cafes and other facilities are also found in Labeaume.

Note: the origins of the village lie in the cliffs opposite, at one time home to troglodyte dwellings.

The village is well organised, with parking easy and close to hand.
