Gigondas
This charming and picturesque little village is at the base of the Dentelles de Montmirail.
A number of hiking trails lead from the village to the Dentelles. The main square and commercial area is lined with plane trees, under which one can enjoy a great Provencal meal or a snack. Amongst the ruins of the ancient fortifications, rises the ruins of the castle of the Princes of Orange, while the old wall climbs on to a ridge high above the village.
Wine is foremost in the produce of the village which also has its own Gigondas appellation as well as being included as a part of the Cote du Rhone wine growing area.
