Ste Euphémie sur Ouveze

As you walk along its charming shady peaceful cobbled alleyways, you'll admire a vaulted passageway, some stone archways supporting ancient houses, little fountains... and everywhere is this superb stonework, brightened by lavender blue shutters, overwhelmed by beautiful vegetation, rose bushes and virginia creepers.

Ruelle dans la Drome

The church is recent but beautifully integrated into its setting, surrounded by little gardens and shaded by fruit trees, limetrees, cypresses and poplars...
Founded by the Knights Templar, the village of Sainte-Euphémie-sur-Ouvèze was sold to the Grimaldi de Monaco par Louis XIII as compensation for the loss of the Kingdom of Naples. If it was not for the French Revolution, Sainte-Euphémie would still be a part of Monaco.
Don't leave Sainte-Euphémie without tasting the locally-produced honey, to cherish a sweet fragrant memory of this wonderful provençal village !
