The centre of Alès, rich in beautiful stones such as the Saint John Cathedral or the Fort Vauban , also offers an ideal city heart to make the shops and its daily market. The products we find are rhymed by the seasons: fruit and vegetables, meats, honeys, goat cheeses (including the renowned AOC pelardon), châtaignes, wines from the IGP Cevennes... Between two activities, you can refresh yourself in the shaded and blossomed parks, or stroll through the pedestrian streets and sit on the terrace of a café in the city centre!
