Among the most impressive buildings is the Hotel de Montfaucon, with its most impressive and decorative side entrance. The main tower and windows were built during the 16th century.

Worth seeing is also the lower part of Vézénobres and the Church of Saint-André. Among the highlights of this building are the frescoes in the apse, which came to be in the 18th century.

The authentic village

The special charm of Vézénobres is due to its very authentic look. It is not only the roads which run alongside the historic building. Much of the charm is due to its picturesque landscape you can see from the foot of the village. In the town centre, you can see several buildings, which are built in the old Roman style. Attentive observers will notice the numerous architectural features at the houses that have been preserved over the past six centuries. Some of the most beautiful homes in Vézénobres are the way to the Rue des Maisons Romanes. On top of the hill, you can visit the ruins of Château de Montanègre, which has its home here since the 12th and 13th centuries. From this altitude, you also have an enjoyable view over the surrounding countryside.
