Castle Salgas is located in the municipality of Vebron in Lozère, 12 km south of Florac.
In the Cévennes National Park, it was rebuilt in the seventeenth century and rebuilt in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries on the foundations of an already mentioned in 1312 medieval castle.

The building no longer today or defensive military reference. The works of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries have given it a residential appearance with adding pediments on the facades, replacement of slate by slate, construction of balconies, attics and dormers, plus the addition of a tower north is more aesthetic.
