Visit Lagorce

The village of Lagorce in Ardèche

The village of Lagorce is situated on top of a rocky spur. From its flowery alleys or during its local producers’ markets, a gentle atmosphere and a real joie de vivre emerge. As you wander through the old village, you will have plenty of time to admire buildings that are hundreds of years old: stone arcades, vaulted passageways, a feudal belfry…

Visits not to be missed in Lagorce

One of the most significant sights in Lagorce is undoubtedly the Ma Magnanerie museum. Here you will discover where silk comes from and how the worms that make it are raised. The village is also particularly famous for its cosmetics. Indeed, it is here that Melvita has opened a factory open to the public. This is a good way to learn more about the production of the famous organic skincare products and to stock up on the shop during your stay in a gîte in Lagorce or on a camping in Lagorce in the Ardèche. Art lovers will enjoy the Mirabilia gallery where temporary exhibitions showcase local artists. Finally, nature lovers will go to the Sompe waterfall or the Ronc-Baratu cave to take in the sights!

The commune of Lagorce is the largest in the Ardèche department with more than 7000 hectares. To get to the waterfall, it is best to go outside the summer months, otherwise the waterfall may run dry.
