On the way to the temple, there will be short stop at the Charents Arch, where you will be given the chance to enjoy one of the best moments of your trip to Armenia – a picturesque view of the Biblical Mount Ararat.

Garni Temple (77 A.D.) is the only standing heathen temple in the whole post-Soviet area. The temple gracefully stands on a high plateau overlooking the Azat river gorge. It is also home to the roman bath house with the mysterious mosaic, made out of 30,000 pieces of natural stones, as well as the ruins of the royal palace, dating back to 3rd century A.D.

Les gorges de Garni sont un site naturel époustouflant situé en Arménie, près du village de Garni. Elles sont également surnommées la « Symphonie des pierres » en raison de leurs formations rocheuses uniques qui créent une magnifique symphonie de couleurs et de formes. * La visite de la Symphonie des pierres est soumise aux conditions météorologiques.

The monastic complex of Geghard is another historical site included in this daily tour. Translated into English as “Monastery of the Holy Lance”, it refers to the lance with which Longinus pierced Jesus still hanging on the cross, later brought to Armenia and kept in the Geghard monastery for 5 centuries. The complex is a representation of 13 th Century Armenia, which is considered to be the Golden Age of the country’s architecture. However, the most astonishing part is the virtue of the architect, who cut the church right into the solid rock whilst considering all the rules of Armenian architecture.

Lors de votre séjour en Arménie, ne manquez pas de visiter l'un des sites les plus emblématiques du pays : le magnifique lac Sevan. Niché à 1 900 mètres d'altitude et entouré d'une majestueuse chaîne de montagnes, ce lac spectaculaire est un incontournable. Vous grimperez jusqu'à la péninsule de Sevan, d'où vous profiterez d'une vue panoramique imprenable sur le lac depuis le sommet. Vous aurez également l'occasion d'explorer le monastère de Sevanavank, qui abrite l'un des plus beaux khatchkars d'Amenaprkich (le Sauveur de tous) d'Arménie. Ce remarquable khatchkar, parmi les 13 plus rares du pays, représente Jésus de façon magnifique.

The monastery of Haghartsin dates back to the 10th -14th centuries. The name is translated as “the play of the eagle”. The scenery is somewhat similar to a stunning work of art, with both the monastery and the nature surrounding it providing a breathtaking view. The refectory of Haghartsin is considered the biggest amongst Armenian Church architecture; it was an absolute innovation of its time! If you are curious as to why, there will be nothing better than seeing it for yourself!

Dilidjan est une ville pittoresque, souvent surnommée la « Suisse arménienne » en raison de sa beauté naturelle époustouflante. En vous promenant dans la plus ancienne rue, Sharambeyan, vous serez captivé par les maisons en bois, dont beaucoup datent du XIXe siècle.

The tour will then take you to the North of Armenia, where you will be surrounded by beautiful nature. Through the city of Dilijan, we will make a stop at the monastery of Gosh-Goshavank. This historical church is located in the heart of nature and beautiful village which has the same name. Mkhitar Gosh was one of the great intellectual powers of his day, “a humble man of wisdom”, authoring numerous works, including the first code of civil and Canon law that was used in both Greater Armenia and Cilicia. He is buried near the church which he himself built in 1188. Here you will also see Pavghos’s (Poghos) Khachkar, considered to be the most beautiful “embroidered” Khachkar (stone cross) in Armenia.
