This city of the Cévennes, first mentioned in a 12th-century papal bull , was very much influenced by Protestantism in the 16th century and became the Mecca of the camisards' resistance.
Thanks to the silk industry, the village experienced a period of prosperity that lasted from the 19th century to the 20th century. This city now owes much of its economy to tourism. A heritage railway runs from Saint-Jean-du-Gard to Anduze with a stop at the Bambouseraie de Prafrance, which attracts 150,000 tourists a year.
