Meyras
Meyras is located about 20 km north-west of Aubenas - it is officially listed as one of the Ardeche 'villages of character'.
The village centres around the Church of Saint-Etienne- indeed every path I followed seemed to end at the church - with its 12th century belltower and decorative entrance doorway.
More renovated than some of the villages in the region, it is a pleasant and calm place to amble around admiring the traditional architecture.
There are useful information signs on many of the buildings explaining their origins - for example you will see a large stone block above an entranceway that was once a lintel in one of the three chateaux that stood in Meyras several hundred years ago (now all gone).
Another unusual feature in Meyras is the vaulted passageway called the 'salle des voutes'.
You will also notice a couple of 'trompe l'oeil' paintings in old doorways, depicting life in the village a century ago.
Not a large village to explore, a visit to Meyras could be combined with a trip to nearby Thueyts, another of the listed villages in the Ardeche department.
