Situated between the Gard and the Lozere regions in SouthEast France, the Cévennes mountain range has a truly singular history.

Coal was extracted from the region, starting in the late 18th century, creating a major industry. The Cevenol coal contributed to the war effort, and subsequently to the reconstruction of France. The Puits Ricard Museum in Grand-Combe bears witness to this activity.
