Mezilhac

Tucked into the uplands of the Monts d’Ardèche, Mézilhac is a place whose character is shaped by its high position on the watershed between the Atlantic and Mediterranean. The village lies within the Monts d’Ardèche Regional Natural Park, amid grazing country, woodland and volcanic terrain rather than the river gorges more often associated with Ardèche. Mont Gerbier de Jonc, where the Loire begins, stands nearby and gives this area a notable place in the geography of France’s longest river. Mountain roads connect small settlements across a sparsely populated plateau, where conditions can be markedly cooler than in the Rhône valley.
