The village of Barjac
In the Cèze Valley, this village of character will charm you with its cobbled streets, shaded squares, small shops, old stone houses, and historic monuments. Stroll through the sloping streets of the town center and discover all the secrets of this village. During your visit to Barjac, don't miss the Château des Comtes du Roure, the Renaissance Tower, the Porte Basse, or the Saint-Laurent Church.
In 2022, the highly anticipated Anselm Kiefer Foundation opened in Barjac, an opportunity to discover his monumental works in an exceptional setting. This foundation alone is worth the trip to Barjac!

Over the past three decades, Anselm Kiefer has transformed La Ribaute—a 40-hectare site in the south of France, in Barjac, near Nîmes—into a unique immersive art environment, creating numerous art installations there, often on a monumental scale. It is now possible to participate in a guided tour of La Ribaute, which allows visitors to discover a selection of Anselm Kiefer's works, as well as works by five other artists.
