Municipality located between Causses and Cévennes, about ten kilometers from Florac, Vebron takes its name from the word Beaver, an animal reintroduced on site. It takes place on the banks of the Gardon de Sainte-Croix and the Tarnon, surrounded by an exceptional natural heritage with several Natura 2000 classified sites or natural areas of ecological, fauna and flora interest.

Of very ancient origin, the town of Vebron seduces with its preserved landscapes, but also by its dynamism. Several cultural or sporting events are offered there during the year.

Things to see and do

Formerly the property of the Countess of Bernis, Salgas Castle is now listed as a Historic Monument. Located in the heart of the Cévennes, in the Cévennes National Park, it is mentioned as a place of refuge for the Protestant baron of Salgas after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes.

As you stroll through the small rural town, you can also admire the different places of worship, such as the Saint-Joseph de Cros Garnon church or the Reformed Church temple. The Saint-Pierre church of Vebron has been deconsecrated and today belongs to the town hall. Concerts, conferences or festivals are regularly organized there.

The town has several marked hiking trails allowing you to admire local fauna and flora.
