The Galeizon Valley is a geographical and ecological area located at the junction of the Gard and Lozère departments, in the heart of the Cévennes National Park. It is named after the Galeizon, a tributary of the Gardon d'Alès. This valley is emblematic of the southern Cévennes, characterized by its steep reliefs, chestnut and oak forests, and tumultuous rivers. It is a preserved, sparsely populated area of mid-mountain landscape. The Pays de la Vallée du Galeizon has long relied on subsistence agriculture and timber exploitation. Today, it is particularly recognized for its biodiversity and its status as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The valley is a popular destination for hiking, with the GR 700 (Voie Régordane) running through it, as well as the Camisards Trail. Its heritage is marked by traditional Cévenol housing, featuring slate stone farms, many of which have been restored.
