Lamotte-du-Rhône (Vaucluse, France)
Lamotte-du-Rhône is a small village situated on the banks of the Rhône River, in the wide plain separating Vaucluse and Drôme. The setting is rural and agricultural, marked by fields, orchards and some riverside wetlands. There is a Provençal village tranquillity, while being close to the main routes of the Rhône valley. It is a discreet starting point to explore the region between Avignon and Montélimar.
Heritage and history
The local heritage remains modest but tangible. The village center retains a parish church and village houses built with traditional materials. Traces of former river activity are seen in the layout of the land, between levees and roads that run along the river.
Nature and landscapes
The river sets the pace: alluvial plains, secondary channels and reedbeds punctuate the landscape. These environments attract a varied birdlife and offer changing atmospheres depending on the light. Views of the Rhône remain the main natural attraction of the area.
Outdoor activities
The region is suitable for bike rides along the flat roads and for walks along the river. Fishing and birdwatching are common activities. It is also easy to reach more sporty routes or vineyard trails in neighboring communes.
