Ganges

Ganges is a commune in Hérault located in the southern Cevennes region and home to around 4000 residents. The town sits in a valley carved by the Hérault River, surrounded by forested hills that rise on all sides.

The settlement emerged in medieval times at this strategic valley location and later developed into a trading hub due to its favorable position along the river. Over centuries it grew in importance as a local commercial center for the region.

The location is well-suited for travelers who want to explore the Cevennes and visit small settlements in their natural surroundings. Visitors will find basic facilities and can use it as a base for walks into the mountain landscape.
