Large museum located in Mialet, presenting the identity of the Cévennes and organizing numerous events and activities.
A museum of Protestant memory housed in an authentic house, the birthplace of Camisard leader Rolland, it recounts the history of a Huguenot and Camisard century, of clandestine assemblies, of times of tolerance and war. You can follow a guided tour (at no extra charge), or take a self-guided tour with the help of the information leaflet. You'll discover a wealth of archives and historical documents, as well as ethnological reconstructions of the house. A fascinating tour that delves into the Protestant identity of the Cévennes.

Nous avons eu la chance d'avoir comme guide Philippe Herbster.
En un mot : extraordinaire : ses talents d'orateur et de conteur nous ont fait rentré dans cette période trouble de notre histoire, maitrisant la complexité des évènements mais aussi une bonne dose d'humour qui ont captivé notre jeune (et moins jeune) auditoire.
1h30 d'une visite qui réussi le tour de force de ne pas être dogmatique et dont, croyant ou pas, catholiques ou protestants, on ressort grandi de ce voyage dans les guerres de religions avec à l'exutoire une sacré leçon de tolérance.
