Rosières: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

Rosières lies in the La Beaume valley on the edge of the Monts d’Ardèche Regional Nature Park. At the same time, the town is located at the interface between the Jurassic limestone plateau of Les Gras and the Triassic sandstone slopes of the foothills of the Tanargue, the Massif de Balbiac.
