Val-d'Aigoual

The upper Hérault River defines the setting of Val-d'Aigoual — its narrow Cévennes valley gathers hamlets beneath the wooded slopes of Mont Aigoual, shaping routes, farming and the pattern of settlement. This southern French commune was formed in 2019 from Valleraugue and Notre-Dame-de-la-Rouvière, linking two long-established communities in the Gard department. Above them, Mont Aigoual rises to 1,567 metres and carries a meteorological observatory inaugurated in 1894, a fitting presence in a summit area known for changeable weather. Val-d'Aigoual lies within the Cévennes National Park and the UNESCO-listed Causses and Cévennes cultural landscape, recognised for its Mediterranean agro-pastoral tradition.
