Avène, Administrative division in Occitanie, France.
The commune of Avène extends across 162.65 square kilometers in the Hérault department, with mountain landscapes and a population of 288 residents.
Established as a hydrotherapy center in 1743 near the Sainte-Odile spring, Avène developed into a recognized administrative division within the French territorial system.
The territory includes medieval religious structures, such as the Roman church of Saint-André-de-Rieussec from the 13th century and Saint-Pierre de Rouvignac from the 12th century.
The local government operates under Mayor Serge Castan, managing public services and infrastructure for the sparse population of 4.6 inhabitants per square kilometer.
The Sainte-Odile spring produces mineral water that has been subject to over 150 scientific studies examining its effects on dermatological conditions.
