A silk production factory in the Cévennes. One of the last silk workshops in France. They work hard to preserve French know-how in this area.

You can refresh yourself in Colognac. The bar on the square sells drinks and offers other services. In the town, you'll find the charming Mouleyrette mill. It's nestled in the heart of the Gard Cévennes mountains, in a beautiful setting along a rugged river. Located at an altitude of 600 meters, it sits near a small waterfall. It's still operational, thanks to a restoration project undertaken by an association in 1991.
