The site Dominating the middle valley of the Cèze, the castrum of Allègre emerges from the garrigue. There are towers and stately houses, a double rampart, a chapel and a village. Despite its present state in ruins, the houses have various remarkable elements to observe: doors and windows in semicircular, cupboards, niches, stairs, loopholes, day in arches, holes of hourd, and superimposed latrines intramural.
