Program

Morning: These two tours alternate for groups of 20 or more. Go behind the scenes at the Tuffery Workshop, the birthplace of French denim for over 130 years. Discover the captivating story of the Tuffery family, master tailors of the Cévennes region, and delve into the manufacturing process of this iconic garment. You'll learn how artisanal know-how, passed down through generations, is now combined with an ethical and eco-responsible approach, 100% made in France. A journey to the heart of socially conscious fashion that will forever change your perspective on blue jeans. Explore Florac-Trois-Rivières on a guided tour through its picturesque streets. A stronghold of Protestantism marked by the Wars of Religion, the town reveals a rich history, punctuated by fairs and trade since the Middle Ages. Today, home to the Cévennes National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Florac blends heritage and nature. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, it embodies the balance between memory and preservation. A unique Cévennes town, poised between past and future. Lunch in a restaurant in Florac-Trois-Rivières. Afternoon: Storytelling tour of Sainte-Enimie: Stroll through the streets of this medieval village, in the heart of the Tarn Gorges, listed among "The Most Beautiful Villages of France," discovering local legends. Understand the role of the cardabelles (a type of sea creature) for the inhabitants of the Causse region, the relationship between wolves and humans throughout the ages, why the village of Burlatis is now called Sainte-Enimie, and how the people of the Causses adapted to such a harsh life. An escape into the land of imagination and in the footsteps of the peoples of yesteryear.
