Charnas is a commune in the Ardèche department in southern France.
Location and Description
[edit]The commune of Charnas covers a relatively modest area of 5.39 km² on the edge of the northern Ardèche plateau, which overlooks the Rhône River. To the east, its territory lies between two streams: the Montrond to the north and the Marlet to the south. It is in this area that the village gradually expanded. To the northwest, the rest of the commune occupies the plateau, consisting of farmland and hamlets, extending to the Limony stream and the boundary between the Ardèche and Loire departments.[3]
