Méjannes-le-Clap

Rejuvenate at the heart of the site of the massif and the gorges of the Cèze, one of the largest Sensitive Natural Areas in France, where the ubiquitous limestone rock has shaped expanses of scrubland and drawn the horizon with the sinuous gorges of the Cèze. Here you are in Cèze-Cévennes!

The activities of Méjannes-le-Clap await you, enjoy the family spirit of the resort, cultural events, an ideal geographical location, in the heart of nature, and the incredible cave of the Salamander.

Ideal geographical position: between Cévennes, gorges of the Ardèche and Côtes du Rhône, 30 minutes from Vallon-Pont-d'Arc and 1h30 from the beaches of Camargue.
