Perched on the last foothills of the lower Cevennes, natural bridges
make real underground cathedrals where it's possible to walk in the summer.
The gorges are deep, winding, pierced with caves.
It is an impressive, dry and arid landsape with yet one of the most
varied floras in Europe.
From earliest antiquity, the caves have been inhabited (see the
archeology and paleontology museum) but it is from the 9th century that
the town gains in importance: royal jurisdiction, it is established viscountcy
in the year 900. |
