Petite balade au cœur du village de Vialas pour découvrir l'histoire de ses quartiers, bâtis autour du temple et de la mine de plomb argentifère.
Ce sentier chemine à travers le bourg de Vialas, situé à la rencontre du granite et du schiste. Il retrace son histoire, de l’installation des premiers habitants autour de la maison des Montclar, seigneurs du lieu au XIVe siècle, à nos jours. Il souligne l’importance de la mine de plomb argentifère dans le développement de ce village où se trouve l’un des plus anciens temples des Cévennes.

    The temple (Protestant church): in 1612, the Protestant community had this church built at its own expense, several kilometres from Castagnols. Donated to the Catholic community before the Edict of Nantes was revoked, it thus escaped the destruction meted out to Cevenol temples. The Protestants got their church back in 1804.
    The secondary school: in 1889, after the so-called Jules Ferry Laws were passed, the primary school with its two classes was completed by a secondary school. This was the first ever in Lozère. In 2005, the establishment, now a boarding school, welcomed 60 pupils from all over the region.
