Mons is characterized by a preserved rural environment with hilly terrain that is partly wooded and partly used for agriculture. In this landscape, the tree known as the “Chêne du père Rocher” is one of the surviving descendants of Mons’s historic white oak landscape.

Culture
The fortress of Château de Mons was rebuilt between 1630 and 1660. During the rebuilding of the fortress of Château de Mons in the 17th century, a formal French garden was created there. In Mons, visitors can also discover the remains of the feudal castle of Château de Mons.
Le Temple de Mons was commissioned in 1821 by a pharmacist from Alès after he had purchased the castle of Mons and its 150-hectare estate. The temple was completely restored in 2005. The restoration included the exterior and interior of the building, as well as the stained-glass windows, paintings, and roof structure.
The Eglise Saint Pierre de Mons is a Romanesque church, probably built in the 12th century. The Gallo-Roman oppidum Viu Ciutat had been inhabited since the Neolithic period, that is, at least 5,000 years BC, and was later used by Celts, Gauls, and Romans until the 2nd century AD.
