Les Vans, Administrative commune in Ardèche, France
Les Vans stands at the intersection of the Cévennes and southern Ardèche regions, surrounded by olive groves, vineyards, and chestnut orchards in a Mediterranean climate.
The commune merged with Brahic, Chassagnes, and Naves in 1973, expanding its territory to 3,220 hectares and incorporating diverse architectural heritage from multiple periods.
The Saturday morning market and summer Tuesday night craft markets at Place de la Fontaine display local products and regional traditions throughout the year.
The town hall opens Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM at 5 rue du Temple, offering administrative services to 2,721 residents.
The area contains four distinct rock types - limestone, schist, sandstone, and granite - creating protected natural zones including the Païolive woods.
