The picturesque village of Chassagnes lies at the heart of a valley surrounded by mountains and hills in southern Ardèche, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region (central southeastern France). It faces the limestone cliffs overlooked by the Saint-Eugène hermitage and is bordered by the cultivated plains of Chassezac. Chassagnes is a small medieval village in the commune of Vans, close to the following villages: Assions, Chambonas, Berrias and Casteljau. It’s a sparsely populated town where life is calm and peaceful. It is the gateway to the Ardèche plain and its riches. It boasts well-preserved old buildings that time has had almost no effect on. Chassagnes has held the “Village de caractère” label since 1973. Tourist vacations in the Ardèche at Camping Chassagne, it’s possible!
