Situated in the southern part of the Rhône valley, Roc Salière is a place that is steeped in history. The small village of Rocsalière owes its name to its unusual location at the foot of a rocky outcrop. A stone throw away, the ‘Rocher des Druides’ and ancient cliff dwellings are the subject of many legends since the Middle Ages. Nowadays, nature has reclaimed the place that flourishes out of a respect for the surrounding wildlife and flora.
