The Pont du Gard
A UNESCO World Heritage Site. After visiting the museum, you can cross the bridge, a vestige of Roman architecture, and then swim underneath it in the river Gardon.
The Bambouseraie
The bambouseraie in Anduze is a garden unique in Europe that has bamboo huts, century-old bamboo trees, flowering greenhouses, a Laotian village, Dragon Valley, maze, and more.
The Cévennes steam train
Cross the untamed landscape of the Cévennes using tunnels, bridges and rivers in train carriages from 1900. Travel in space and time to find yourself in the country of the giant bamboos and, a few kilometres further on, relive the history of the Cévennes during a guided visit of St Jean du Gard.
The Silk Museum
The Musée de la soie bears witness to a prestigious past that had a wealth of technology and culture and remains alive in the memories of all Cévenols.
The Cirque de Navacelles
The site of the Cirque de Navacelles is in the Causses and Cévennes area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Grotte des Demoiselles
The Grotte des Demoiselles cave is located in the upper Hérault valley, deep in Languedoc-Roussillon, between the Cévennes and the Mediterranean.
La Vis Waterfall
At St-Laurent-le-Minier, the torrent teems with life around the many waterfalls, which turn the riverbed into graceful terraces of water plumes and joyful noise. Trout and roaches as well as pikes have found an ideal spot to reproduce here – despite the groups of fishermen and women who pace the dandelion-dotted river banks.
Mont Aigoual
Breath-taking views! On clear days, the panoramic views range from the Pyrenees to the Alps via the Mediterranean and Mont Ventoux. Discover the Mont Aigoual area, its weather station, upland limestone plateaux and Cévenol valleys – an area of vast open spaces that is both mountainous and Mediterranean in character and an authentic terroir.
