VÉBRON

Known today for its International Film Festival which takes place in mid-July, the village has kept its southern cachet with its large shady square. The origin of Vébron comes from the old Occitan "vibré" or "vibro" designating the beaver

The village is dominated by the castle called "Châteauroux" is built on a schist spur, watching over the whole valley. Several paths delimit it: the paths coming from Les Vanels, Meyrueis and Fraissinet de Fourques, the paths of Les Rousses and Le Pompidou.

Dating from the 12th or 13th century, the history of the church of Saint-Pierre de Vébron is closely linked to the village. The priory of Vébron depended on the monastery of Sainte-Enimie in the 14th century. Following the wars of religion around 1560, the building was abandoned and partly destroyed. The church, rebuilt in 1687, was maintained for a long time by the family of Bernis from the castle of Salgas.

Today, the building being desecrated, it will be dedicated to the cultural life of the village.
