Welcome to the charming little village of Boisset-et-Gaujac, located in the Cévennes foothills, 11 km from Alès.
Wooded hills and cultivated valleys follow one another in gentle curves. The very scattered habitat is one of the characteristics of this village.
Boisset bears vestiges that are sometimes several centuries old: Oppidum and Roman road; Château de Lascours (16th century), remodeled in the 19th century; Former Notre-Dame de Gaujac church, of Romanesque origin, burnt down in 1703.
In the Middle Ages, Boisset and Gaujac depended on the viguerie of Anduze, the diocese of Alès and the seneschalsy of Nîmes and Beaucaire.
In the heart of the Gard, the commune of Boisset-et-Gaujac is made up of the former "Parochia de buxetis", the parish of the boxwood woods, and "Gauiacum", named after the Roman owner Gaudius, in the 1st century after Jesus Christ.
The village displays as a symbol, on the arms of the city, three boxwood feet, like those that cover the surrounding hills. It is a very lively village with, however, vestiges of the Saint-Saturnin church and the old castle of Montvaillant, hidden under the strata of time. The Temple, or the Romanesque chapel of Gaujac (Domaine des Amandiers), listed as historical monuments, can only be guessed by walking its paths, and the large Domaine de Lascours, one of the pearls of the Gardonnenque, has long remained a secret garden.
