Tauriers: Roses, Church and Mountain Panorama

You can discover Tauriers through its cultural history and the surrounding landscape. The Romanesque Saint Julien de Brioude Church, the ruins of the Chapelle des 3 clochers, the former fortified village and the Roseraie de Berty each offer a different perspective. Added to these are views of Mont Ventoux and the Alps, as well as routes connected with the Roubreau Valley. If you are looking for a hotel in Tauriers, these highlights can help you shape your stay around local church and village history, roses or the landscape.

Village Heights, Panoramas and a Rose Garden

Tauriers is a village at an altitude of around 400 metres, offering panoramic views of Mont Ventoux and the Alps. The Roseraie de Berty offers a different connection with the landscape: it lies in a riverside setting within a protected area of Tauriers. The garden displays more than 700 varieties of old roses. The village’s elevation and the rose garden thus offer two distinct landscape perspectives: distant views of the mountains and a protected riverside setting with old rose varieties.

Church and Local History

The Romanesque Saint Julien de Brioude Church dates from the 19th century and has been restored and renovated. Two contemporary stained-glass windows were added. Together, these features highlight different periods: its Romanesque classification, its 19th-century construction and the contemporary windows.

Chapel Ruins and Feudal Castle

The ruins known as the Chapelle des 3 clochers are the remains of the Notre-Dame de Tous Biens chapel, built in 1875. Access to the Chapelle des 3 clochers is prohibited by municipal order; the ruins are on private property. Please observe local notices. The former fortified village of Tauriers is dominated by a 13th-century feudal castle. It is listed for protection and is privately owned. Together with the 19th-century church and its contemporary windows, it spans the history of the village from the 13th-century castle to a contemporary addition.

Routes along the Roubreau

Circuit no. 8: En longeant le Roubreau runs from Largentière to Tauriers through the wild and species-rich Roubreau Valley; the route offers a beautiful view of Tauriers. Circuit no. 20: Sur les traces des Sarpes-Bruges follows the Roubreau Valley. By way of comparison, the first route focuses on the link between Largentière and Tauriers and the view of the village, while the second follows the course of the valley.

The name of Circuit no. 20 also reaches back into the history of the Roubreau Valley. “Sarpe” means “to cut”, while “Bruges” recalls the heather that once grew abundantly there. The heather was formerly used to make bows on which silkworms attached themselves. The route’s name thus connects a linguistic trace with the landscape’s former use and silk farming.
