Tourism, holidays & weekends guide in the Ardèche

Town news of the Ardeche region Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Saint-Laurent-les-Bains-Laval-d'Aurelle takes place a hundred kilometers from Privas, near Laveyrune, Sand and Loubaresse, the limit of the department of Lozère. She was born on January 1, 2019 from the merger of Saint-Laurent-les-Bains and Laval d'Aurelle.

Long sparsely populated because of the isolated location of the time, the territory of Saint-Laurent-les-Bains-Laval-d'Aurelle has long been turned to agriculture, including the cultivation of the chestnut so popular in Ardèche. She still continues now operating a hot spring known for its many virtues. Today, the town continues to be seduced by its exceptional location that allows it to enjoy authentic and breathtaking scenery, but also by its modest typical architectural heritage of this part of southern France.
