Very old mills for producing oil, wool and flour border the Valat de Baumelle gully. Note the mill pond (Occitan: gorga) at the edge of the path and backing onto the mill. The inhabitants of Luziers laid out their vegetable plots on the many terraces you can still see on either side of the path. The uppermost terraces – the “dry gardens”  – were reserved for crops needing little water: broad beans, lentils, peas, etc. Other vegetables were planted on terraces that lay closer to the waterway. They were irrigated using a system of terracotta pipes connected to small basins. (Nelly Bernard)

The Desert, a strange name for a museum! You will know the meaning by visiting this unique place in the Cevennes. More than 3000 rare objects, weapons, maps, paintings and books are exposed, witnesses of the resistance of the Protestants during the War of the Camisards. Located in the heart of a Cévennes hamlet, in the house where the Camisard leader Pierre Laporte, known as Rolland, was born, the Musée du Désert aims to bring to life the Huguenot past and the history of the Camisards. With its numerous documents and authentic objects, it is the largest and richest museum of Protestant history. It celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2011. By visiting the Desert Museum, you explore the period of the "Desert" (1685-1787) from the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes to the Edict of Toleration. You will learn about the daily life of the Huguenots living in hiding and relive their long march towards freedom of conscience until the revolution. You will also understand the evolution of Protestantism, from its birth with the Reformation in 1517, until today. The Musée du Désert is also the starting point of the international path "In the footsteps of the Huguenots", a cultural route of the Council of Europe since 2013.

The idea for a “Museum of the Wilderness” goes back to 1880, when the Société de l'histoire du protestantisme français launched a subscription to buy the birthplace of the Camisard leader Roland (real name: Pierre Laporte). […] In 1910, the Musée du Désert was created as a memorial site to trace the history of Protestantism from 1685 to 1789 and its fight against the French regime's intolerance. […] It is intended to bear witness to the past and promote awareness of the spiritual and cultural heritage that shaped the Cevenol mentality. Every first Sunday in September, almost 20,000 people gather in the shade of the oaks at Mas Soubeyran to hold a Protestant service – the so-called Gathering in the Wilderness. (Nelly Bernard)

People under 50 years old will find themselves in a world that will seem far away, in the middle of writing supports and objects that allowed to transmit knowledge, writings, ideas replaced by a tool as impersonal as the computer. For the others, nostalgia for the past will invade you and a multitude of memories will rush into your head bringing back good or bad moments of your childhood. Original museum on 450 m²: collections of writing objects, history and manufacturing techniques of all writing supports (papyrus, parchment, various), reconstitution of a classroom of 1920. The museum is very lively and attractive with many educational and fun activities throughout the year. A choice of eight educational workshops are proposed for each school vacation and during the visit of the classes. The visit ends with a workshop allowing to practice with all the writing instruments. Courses in straw marquetry, Western, Japanese, Hebrew and Arabic calligraphy are scheduled throughout the year. Regular courses in illumination and art framing are held every month. The museum permanently displays one or more temporary exhibitions in its vaulted rooms. The scribe's museum is also 12 travelling exhibitions that travel all over France to satisfy the public of media libraries, book or writing festivals, schools, colleges and high schools, eventful anniversaries, ... Open all year round for groups and schools by appointment

Alongside the paths grows a plant whose name, at least, is known to all those who remember La Fontaine's fable of the Hare and the Tortoise: “Pray take, your senses to restore / A grain or two of hellebore”. Hellebore, also known as dungwort, is toxic – but it does not cure madness as popular belief had it. This member of the buttercup family is evergreen and can be identified in winter by its pale green leaves, which are spear-shaped and palmately lobed. […] Its pale green flower stalk has bracts and dies after flowering; it appears in February to March. It is embellished with five greenish petals with a red edge and ten petals of a rather unpleasant nectary shape. Shepherds hung it in sheepfolds and used it to treat abscesses and sheep scab. (Nelly Bernard)

Ideal place for a walk, games for children and tree houses/ nets, it is also a place where many animations take place like the Nuit Douce (musical evening) or the Nuit des étoiles. This park dates back to 1782 when Jacques Destremx (elected mayor of the commune in 1869 and 1888) bought the three properties of the Marquis de Montmoirac, also lord of Montèze and Saint-Christol. From inheritance to marriage and life annuity, the Trouchaud couple (mayor of Saint-Christol-lez-Alès in 1932) settled down and became passionate about Rouret by creating an English garden, which over time became a natural park of Mediterranean type. In 1987, the municipality bought the 14-hectare estate, the park, but also the manor house, and developments were made around it: a stadium, a fitness trail, a botanical trail, a CAT, and a leisure center nearby. Many trees were planted there: cedars, maples, magnolia, red oak and a playground for children aged 1 to 6 years was built. This place is now very appreciated for its calm. An ideal place for a stroll, it is also a place where many events take place such as the Nuit Douce (musical evening) or the Nuit des étoiles.

Legend has it that this humpback bridge was built from 1702 to 1704 by Jean Cavalier, a leader of the Protestant Camisard uprising against the Catholic King. And a legend is all it is. It was constructed a decade later, from 1714 to 1718, when Louis XIV's Intendant, a Monsieur de Basville, decided to develop the road network in the Cevennes. The diocese of Alès was responsible for funding a large share of the construction, and the inhabitants of Mialet were forced to participate through work our paying taxes. In 1976, it became a listed monument. (Nelly Bernard)
