CENTRE HISTORIQUE DE MEYRUEIS

Nestled in the Jonte Gorges, between the Causses and the Cévennes, in the heart of the Cévennes National Park, the peaceful village of Meyrueis is rich in heritage, natural environment, regional traditions and a wide range of sporting activities.

An old trading town, dominated by the "Castle Rock" once crowned by the fortress of the Barons of Anduze, Meyrueis has preserved a high quality built heritage.

Medieval and renaissance houses, towers and ramparts gates, classical private mansions line the picturesque streets, while the church of St Pierre and the octagonal Protestant temple bear witness to the harshness of the religious struggles of yesteryear.

The Meyrueis region, a land of old tradition, still has an important breeding activity. It is entirely included in the World Heritage area.
