 THE MARKET PLACE SALEON TERRAS :

On wednesday mornings, in downtown Le Cheylard there is a big market on the square. This is a great place for buying food, fresh vegetables, tasty fruit, cheeses... You may also stroll on the different " bistrots " terraces all around the square and enjoy a drink.
                                        
  In the old days, the city of Le Cheylard was surrounded by ramparts, this town of character has kept many narrow and winding streets they are still the same as in the Middle Ages. Visiting this small size town is a real pleasure.

  The village of Saint Pierreville is in the middle of the old chesnuts grove, in the village, the museum Ardelaine is open for lively visits twice daily. The rich story of men and sheep and of wool will catch kids as well as adults.

  We admire the quality of the visits and for many years we recommend this museum to tourists, so far, they all have been pleased.


  In the store, local quality products made out of wool are sold, like beautifull blankets, pullovers, jackets...
Profit is far to be the only goal of Ardelaine, but human and environmental dimensions are a real component of this enterprise.
