It is the highest village in this area-from here you have a real birds eye view. At one time a fortified wall surrounded it, today just a few architectural elements remain including the ruins of its castle. Labeled "Village of character" since 2020.
Located at the gateway to the Gorges de l'Ardèche, in an authentic, natural setting, the Maison de la Lavande offers 3 lavender-related activities: a guided tour of the museum on the little train, creative workshops and a treasure hunt.

The church of Berzème appears as soon as 1170. It is a Romanesque church with a wooden bell from the 18th century.
The church has a strange bell tower: a 9m high statue of Our Lady of Lourdes. It is said that it would have been built in thanks for having spared the village from an epidemic of cholera which had struck the neighboring villages.
The church were once part of its fortification which have been referred to as early as 1137. The facade of the actual building has gone through a number of modifications but still has two remaining small towers surrounding it.
