Cévennes

Our Cévennes section takes you to one of the wildest and best-preserved corners of southern France, a land of granite and schist mountains, deep valleys and limestone plateaus, listed by UNESCO as part of the Causses and Cévennes cultural landscape. Stone hamlets, chestnut forests and crystal-clear rivers make it a paradise for hikers and road-trippers.

The Cévennes are also steeped in history, from the Camisard Protestant revolt to the old drove roads, and in simple, generous food: chestnuts, Pélardon goat cheese and Cévennes sweet onions. Whether you come to hike, swim in the rivers or drive its winding roads, it is a destination for slow, authentic travel.
