History and Culture
Flint fragments and Gallo-Roman remains discovered in Lédignan bear witness to very early settlement. Since the 12th century, the lordship of Lédignan belonged to the lands of Bermond, Baron of Sauve. In the Middle Ages, Lédignan’s strategic location at a crossroads and on a slight hill helped make the town known among merchants.
From the Temple de Lédignan, Louis XIII had the Edict of Grâce d’Alès, also known as the Peace of Alès, proclaimed. Today, the Temple de Lédignan is a place of worship for the Lédignan–Ribaute-les-Tavernes parish of the United Protestant Church of France.
