Anduze is a delightfully charming little town nestled between two huge rocks. That's why people like to say "gateway to the Cevennes" to the pretty village. Here you really are spoiled for choice of what to do: a hike through the beautiful nature, a swim in the river...

My recommendation is clearly a walk through the cozy alleys of the city. There's a lot to discover. For example, the small restaurant Tife Tafe on Place Notre Dame. In addition to good food in a great ambience, there are also excellent craft beers from the region, which the chef Olivier personally selects and is happy to make recommendations for. If you're lucky it's summer and Tuesday. Because then there is always a night market in the city and the streets are full of market stalls and street musicians.

If you are in the city for more than a day and would like to take a little trip, I can recommend the “Bambouseraie de Prafrance” botanical garden about three kilometers north of the city. There you can admire bamboo varieties in all their variance.

The Anduze rule, established in the 10th century, was one of the oldest and most powerful in Languedoc. The Lords of Anduze were allied with the Counts of Toulouse and took part in the Albigensian Crusade. In 1266 the Anduze rule fell to the crown, but the place remained the seat of a bailiff.

Anduze is the cradle of sericulture in France, which was cultivated here from the end of the 13th century. The place became the regional center of the silk and wool trade.

In the 16th and 17th centuries, Anduze was an important center of Protestantism in the Cevennes. The fortified site, inhabited by 6,000 people in 1570, became the headquarters of the Protestant forces in southern France. In 1622 it was the base of the resistance of the Rohan, but was stripped of its city walls after the grace edict of Alès.

In the 19th century, Anduze experienced a renewed economic boom with the Industrial Revolution (silk moths, stocking makers, hat makers), but later - like the entire Cevennes - fell into another recession.
