Quissac

Established originally by the Romans, Quissac developed according to the whims of the Vidourle River. In the Middle Ages the town grew up in a meander of the river which provided a natural protection for the inhabitants. As was the case in many of the villages in the area, there where both Protestants and Catholics in the town. The religious wars caused much destruction. In the 19th century Quissac enjoyed calm and prosperity. The arrival of the railway helped develop the economy of the region.

Sauve

Formerly the capital of Salavès, this village has retained much of its medieval atmosphere.The upper part of the town and the ruins of the Château des Bermond blend into the rocky hillside.
La Mer des Rochers (the Sea of Rocks) on a hill above Sauve is a unique site for walks and the discovery of local plants and trees.
The lower part of the town is built along the Vidourle which flows underground from Saint Hippolyte to Sauve where it resurges at a spot called "les résurgences".
