Here,
there is not really a village, nor even an information panel! Châteauneuf-Miravail's
only aim is to be a haven of peace in a verdant site, far, very far from
the major thoroughfares.
Admire the beautiful farms and outhouses that are
still used here and the few restored hay barns, dotted about this marvellous
Jabron valley, nestling at the foot of the Lure mountain.
Verdant
meadows, bordered by vertical rocky cliffs capped with fir trees, cultivated
fields that form yellow lozenge shapes surrounded by dark green hedges,
and the Jabron winding its way lazily over its rocky bed
Mother
nature reigns in Châteauneuf-Miravail.
But for those who take the time to visit the small
parish church, you will be surprised to learn that it houses a painting
representing "the saints Patris, Joseph, Aloys and Crespin",
dated 1687
listed as a historical monument since 1988!
