Florac - city,   welcomes you ...

       Florac is a real geological crossing of the schist  Cevennes in the South covered with  chestnut-trees and heath, the Mont Lozère, kingdom of granite and many watersprings in the Nort and the causse Méjean, severe and extended, a grandiose limestone plateau .  

It's also the confluent place of the rivers Tarnon,   Mimente and  Tarn which stream further  into the famous Gorges du Tarn. Just like the impressionating  stream called the Source du Pêcher a principal resurgence from the Causse Méjean. The water  flows gaily through the centre of the town with little waterfalls and very big trouts giving it an fabulous character.

The  multi-cultural   composition of  'cévenols', 'caussenards' and 'lozerots', catholics and   protestants is reunited by  history and its proudness  to live in  this very special region, that we welcome you...
