Nature

The Galeizon Valley is very close to nature and has even remained wild in some places. The southern barbel is found in the Galeizon Valley. The white-clawed crayfish is also found there.

Lamelouze lies on a bedrock base of schist and limestone; the soil is dry, and the terrain is partly very steep. The tree vegetation includes holm oaks, pine trees and chestnut trees.

Several forest roads cross the well-preserved ZNIEFF area in the Galeizon Valley near Lamelouze and make access easier.

The Galeizon was the first river in Occitania to receive the “Rivière Sauvage” label. The Galeizon also received the “Rivière en bon état” label.

Culture

The hamlet of Appens features typical architecture of the Cévennes mountain region; the houses are arranged in tiers on the cultivated terraces. Fragments of gravestones from the cemetery of the abbots of Cendras have been incorporated into houses in the hamlet of Appens.

The Sainte Cécile de Lamelouze Chapel was built in the 12th century and is the only surviving remnant of a former priory. It has schist walls and roofs made of lauze slabs.

The isolated Sainte Cécile Chapel stands at an altitude of 481 metres and overlooks the valley. It was damaged during the Camisard War.

Near Peyraube are megalithic structures of particular interest.
