General presentation
Cévennes
National park, valleys, causses, villages, rivers and hiking trails.
National Park, Villages and Rivieres give the most telling landmarks of Cevennes. Together, they form a destination where mountain reliefs, forests, riverscapes and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 4 to 8 days, it is best to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: slow roads. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. However, some sites require more walking, elevation or preparation.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Mountain
Mont Aigoual
Mount Aigoual offers a changing weather that becomes an integral part of the visit: fog, breezes, long views and tighter. The trail highlights this instability without making it awkward if the rhythm remains flexible. Take a margin of waiting to let the relief act on the atmosphere.
City
Florac
Florac reads itself as a hinged city: access to the high areas of Cevenoles and anchoring in the valley. The streets offer views of the interior of the land, then to the relief in the distance, which reinforces the feeling of transition. Low afternoon in heat is often more comfortable for walking.
Valley
Vallée française
The Vallée française The landscape unfolds in sequences: wide opening, narrow parades, folds of vegetation, raising the level of visibility in the distance. One sees its character better by avoiding too direct movements. A breathing time between two views completely changes the quality of the discovery.
Village
Sainte-Enimie
Sainte-Enimie attracts by the continuity between ancient buildings and cliffs, which frame the streets as a carved decoration. The details arise when leaving the main axes: lateral passages, stone bridges, perspectives on the river. It's a stop where slowness becomes the best ally.
