Le Vigan, Administrative center in southern Gard, France.
Le Vigan sits in the Arre valley at 231 meters elevation, bordered by the Cévennes National Park and positioned near Mont Aigoual mountain range.
The settlement occupies the location of ancient Vindomagus, controlled by Celtic tribes until Roman conquest in 121 BCE and later governed by Visigoths.
The Musée Cévenol preserves regional heritage through exhibitions of traditional crafts, tools, and documentation of local life throughout different periods.
The town maintains its weekly Saturday market tradition where residents and visitors gather to purchase regional products and fresh produce.
A natural spring named 'la source d'Isis' has provided water to the community continuously since 1069, referencing the Roman goddess.
