Alès

Guide of the Gard

Travel Guide > France > Languedoc-Roussillon > Gard > Alès

The welcoming town of Alès is the gateway to the Cévennes, with a rich mining past. Discover its pleasant floral areas and monuments, such as the cathedral of Saint John the Baptist, the Vauban fort, the town hall or the old bishop's palace.

Also worth a look are the Mining School's mineralogical museum and its remarkable collection of minerals from all over the world, and the Mine Témoin, a former mine with 650 metres of underground galleries taking the visitor deep into the world of the mine and its miners.
