Founded in the 11th century, Sauve is a charming village that takes you on a journey through time with its narrow streets, arched walkways, and beautiful Gothic houses built between the 14th and 18th centuries. The vibe there feels like stepping onto a movie set from another era!

A rich and diverse heritage

Sauve's heritage is both rich and diverse, and it speaks of its glorious past. Labeled as a "Village of Character", it will charm you with its imposing ramparts, its houses of golden stone, and its typical red tile roofs of the region. Nestled on the side of the Coutach massif, the village benefits from a remarkable natural setting, bordered by the peaceful flow of the Vidourle River. At the summit, the Sea of Rocks majestically crowns the village, offering a breathtaking spectacle where nature seems to have sculpted each rock over the centuries!

A village where you won't get bored

If you're feeling a little hungry, make sure to try the local specialties such as the famous "pélardons" accompanied by delicious olives (well, since you're in the south, might as well enjoy it to the fullest). Plus, the village is full of charming and delicious restaurants and cafes like Le Bossens or the restaurant de l'Ancienne Gare.

For a memorable day, Le Bonbon highly recommends :

  • Start your day by going to Sauve on Friday morning to fully enjoy the lively local market.
  • Then, discover the incredible craftsmanship of the village by visiting the Con- Fork sanctuary
  • Continue your exploration by venturing onto the trail of the Gardon Gorges during an invigorating hike.
  • Finally, end the day beautifully by enjoying a delicious meal in one of the picturesque village restaurants.
