Viviers

An enchanting village where time seems to have stopped centuries ago, Viviers has a long and storied past that goes back for more than 1,600 years. Sycamores line some of Viviers' stone-paves streets, and houses here bear the watermarks of floods over the years. Explore the fountain squares in the Old Town, which combine Roman and medieval influences, and cobblestone lanes so narrow you can stand in the middle and touch the medieval houses on either side. Viviers climbs a hill crowned by 12th-century St. Vincent's Cathedral and happens to be the smallest cathedral in France, but it contains a marvelous organ.
