Joyeuse

Said to have been founded by Charlemagne, who fought a battle here, Joyeuse got its name from the famous sword of Charlemagne (or so the legend goes). The medieval village between the two rivers of the Beaume and the Drobie is the ideal place from which to discover the Cévennes in the Ardèche.
