Culture
The fortress of Diges was built in the 12th century as a square complex with four round towers; three towers remain. The Château de Diges has been listed in the register of historic monuments since 1931. It served as a residence for monks or the abbot when they came to Diges, mainly to collect the tithes.
The Church of Saint-Martin contains a stone Christ from the 14th century and a baptismal font dating from the time of Louis XIII. The church was probably originally a castle chapel integrated into a fortified area; the remains of this fortified area are still visible.
When choosing Diges as a travel destination, travellers may wish to rent a holiday apartment.
Hiking
The Sentier des puits d'ocre in Diges is a moderately difficult hiking trail covering 12.92 kilometres, with a duration of 4 hours and 20 minutes, starting and ending in Diges. It passes an old open-pit ochre mine as well as a former ochre factory and its drying shed.
Festivals
The Fête de la châtaigne in Diges takes place every year on the third Saturday in October. At this festival, chestnuts are roasted and tasted on site. The programme includes exhibitions on handicrafts, old agricultural machinery and poultry, as well as an art exhibition in the Church of Saint-Martin.
The Fête de la châtaigne also includes a market featuring local producers offering chestnuts, homemade blood sausage, seasonal vegetables, jams, walnut wine, chestnut flour and cheese from short supply chains.
