All the charm of a southern village with a Cevennes accent. Situated at a natural scenic meeting point Les Vans offers a subtle mixture of the Cevennes and the garrigue.
Throughout the year, you can stroll along the sun-filled streets with their colourful shops, visit the old centre with its wash-house and 17 th -century church and its museums, or just let yourself be tempted by the refreshing Place du Marché and Place de L'Oie with their fountains, and the shaded café terrasses of the Place Ollier.
In Les Vans, tradition and festivities come together with joy and friendship. In summer as in winter, musical events and traditional festivities enchant the public with their colours and emotions.
