Saint-Maurice-Sur-Eygues: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
The Tour des Hospitaliers de Saint-Jean de Jérusalem visible today is a 12th-century building in Saint-Maurice-sur-Eygues. When planning a trip to Saint-Maurice-sur-Eygues, some people focus on the desire to rent a holiday apartment.
History and Culture
The Tour des Hospitaliers de Saint-Jean de Jérusalem is integrated into the Château Sainte-Anne. It originated from a former hospital that was converted into a residence for the lords of Saint-Maurice.
The Saint-Maurice Histoire et Patrimoine museum area was inaugurated on 29 October 2011. The Musée municipal Histoire et Patrimoine displays Gallo-Roman remains and the history of the municipality.
Nature and Landscape
The municipality is bordered by the Eygues to the south. The village of Saint-Maurice lies on a slope facing entirely south, above the Eygues. At the same time, Saint-Maurice-sur-Eygues is a gateway town to the Parc Naturel Régional des Baronnies Provençales.
Wine and Tradition
The Côtes du Rhône Villages Saint-Maurice wine-growing area extends across the municipality of Saint-Maurice-sur-Eygues. The Côtes du Rhône Villages Saint-Maurice wine designation was recognised in 1967 within the Côtes du Rhône Villages AOC.
The Cave des Coteaux de Saint-Maurice was founded in 1939 by 75 winegrowers. Wines can be tasted in its renovated tasting room. For six generations, the Bédouin family has passed down a tradition of regional products, with a particular focus on almonds; the sale of local products began in Visan in 1833.
Routes
The tables by the Eygues at the end of the Chemin de Villedieu are the starting point of “La Voie Douce”, which connects Saint-Maurice-sur-Eygues with Sahune. “La Voie Douce” runs for around 30 kilometres from Saint-Maurice-sur-Eygues to Sahune and makes it possible to discover the distinctive features of the Eygues Valley.
“La Voie Douce” passes through vineyards, across slopes and along the course of the Eygues.
