Along the river

Get your feet wet on the Vidourle and enjoy this wild and relaxing nature. It's a river much appreciated by walkers and fishermen alike. Let's take the time to pause by the water's edge and keep our eyes peeled !


VIDOURLE, ABOVE ALL A PLACE TO LIVE

The Vidourle is a 100 km-long river that rises in the southern Cévennes and flows into the Mediterranean, home to a wide variety of cyprinids and carnivorous fish (perch, pike, eels, pike-perch, carp and black-bass), as well as a wide variety of bird species such as the grey heron and kingfisher. It is a Natura 2000 site.


FEET IN THE WATER

In the South, it's hot and there's little raining precipitations, especially during the season, so bathing vigilance remains the order of the day.


The quality of bathing water is monitored :
