Discover Servian: Pont Royal, gardens and wine

Servian is a destination for travellers who consider culture, gardens and wine as specific interests when choosing where to stay. Highlights in Servian include historic buildings and heritage trails, as well as Jardin de Saint-Adrien and offerings at Domaine de Pouzac. This selection offers a range of options for planning your trip: you can focus on architectural history and trails, make the garden a destination in its own right, or explore wine alongside the history of the Domaine.

Architectural history in Servian

Pont Royal bears the date 1680. The bridge has five arches and is 83.3 metres long in total. The church in Servian has a different historical focus: it was modified in the 13th and 14th centuries and completed in the Gothic style. Here, you’ll encounter two different time references: a date on the bridge and several centuries of alterations to the church. If architectural history is part of your travel plans, you can consider both as different perspectives on Servian’s architecture.

Trails and gardens

The Croix de Servian heritage trails comprise three routes, graded by duration and difficulty. This gives you two practical criteria for comparing them. When including the trails in your daily plans, you can take both the time required and the stated difficulty level into account.

Jardin de Saint-Adrien has been awarded the French “Jardin remarquable” designation and covers four hectares. It is located in a medieval stone quarry and has four bodies of water. Its size and water features give the garden a different character from the individual landmarks of Pont Royal and the church. The quarry is also part of its setting. If you’re choosing between architectural history and a garden as the focus of your visit, this gives you another option to consider.

Museum and wine at Domaine de Pouzac

The Musée de la distillerie et de l’écurie is located at Domaine de Pouzac. It displays numerous machines formerly used for distilling, as well as historic stable fittings. These two themes bring together technical equipment and the history of the stables, adding further dimensions to the Domaine’s connection with wine.

The vineyard at Domaine de Pouzac lies in the Côtes de Thongue appellation area within the commune of Servian. The Domaine offers tastings of red, white and rosé wines. For travellers interested in wine, both the appellation area and the wines on offer are specific points to consider. The Domaine also offers guided tours by prior appointment. If you’re planning such a tour, arrange your appointment in advance.
