the region

Eyzahut is a lovely village situated in the Drôme provençale, the southern part of the department of the Drôme. This region is bounded by the Provence and this means: a lot of sun, olive trees, beautifully smelling lavenderfields, gorgeous fruits and millions and millions of stars in velvet skies… Nature in the Drôme is even more varied than in the Provence. The old villages are less restored, and therefore they are still quite authentic. The region is known for its potteries and its wine-growing villages (Côtes du Rhône).
There is a lot to discover in the cultural field as well: beautiful old churches, castles, museums, art galleries, expositions and many concerts of all sorts. Lots of possibilities for hiking and cycling (attention cyclists: sometimes the little roads may be steep here and there!).
Super bathing up to July in the clear waters of the little river Roubion. In July and August you can use the swimming pool of Eyzahut (at only a three minutes walk from the gîte). A tennis court close to the house can be rented as well and there are several possibilities for horseback riding.

the village

The village of Eyzahut sits between Montélimar and Dieulefit, at 500 m above sea-level, on the first range of hills east of the Rhône-valley (splendid views as far as the Ardèche-mounts, at the other side of the Rhône).
Characteristic of Eyzahut are its cliffs: an impressive rocky wall, several kilometers long. At the top of it there are beautiful grassfields inviting you for a walk and a romantic picknick. You can reach the fields via easy, or via less easy paths. Their highest point is at about 1000 m.
Eyzahut has only 117 inhabitants but the village is proud of its intensive social life.
