Ganges, southern gateway to the Cévennes

Gateway to the Causses and the Cévennes, UNESCO-listed for Mediterranean agropastoralism. Located between garrigue and mountains, at the confluence of the Vis, the Hérault and the Rieutord, Ganges has been a place of passage and exchange for centuries.

A true gateway to the Causses and Cévennes regions, a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its Mediterranean agropastoralism. Its geographical location is strategic: situated between plains and mountains, at the confluence of the Vis, Hérault, and Rieutord rivers, it has been a place of passage and exchange for centuries. Numerous vestiges and scattered traces are still visible in "old" Ganges: one of the nine fountains dating from the 18th century, the Hôtel Bertrand de Maisonneuve has preserved all the features of these 17th-century industrial aristocrats' houses, and every Friday, embark on the most beautiful market in the region.
