La Garde-Adhemar Attractions 
In the 13th C. La Garde came into the possession of the Adhémar family who also had a castle at Grignan in the 11th C. Since the 13th C. La Garde has borne their family name. Situated on the edge of the heights of the Tricastin above the Rhône valley (about 20km/12mi south of Montélimar and 17km/10.5mi west of Grignan) its beautiful position is best appreciated if it is approached from Grignan through the Val des Nymphes.
Outside the town on the north there is a parking lot from which the modest little town can be explored. Parts of the medieval town wall have been preserved in the northeast, including two town gates. From the main door of the Church of St- Michel, one of the important monuments of the district, there is a fine view of the Rhône valley and the outlying hills of the Viverais, with the Dent de Rez (719m/2,360ft) among them.
