Château de Florac, Medieval castle in Florac, France
The limestone castle stands on a tuff hill in the center of Florac, featuring multiple floors dedicated to exhibitions about the Cévennes National Park.
Built in the 13th century as part of the Barony of Anduze, the castle underwent reconstruction in 1652 following damage during the Wars of Religion.
The castle exhibitions present information about local landscapes, regional flora and fauna, and traditional activities within the Cévennes National Park.
Visitors can obtain multilingual guidance, maps, and information about hiking trails, accommodations, and outdoor activities in the Cévennes National Park.
The castle transformed from a salt warehouse after the French Revolution to a prison in 1810, with original cell doors and window bars still visible.
