Surroundings

Mollans-sur-Ouvèze: In the Middle Ages, Mollans-sur-Ouvèze served as the "border" between the Comtat Venaissin and the Dauphiné region, i.e. the rich plain and the dry mountains. It was a gateway that had to be guarded to guarantee peace within the Baronnies - and so it came to be known as the "Baronnies Gate". Today Mollans is a quiet village in the plain of vineyards and fruit orchards on the banks of the Ouvèze river, where olive trees, lime trees and lavender are still cultivated by the local farmers.
