It's in the province Le Gard, the Cevennes mountains area.
You can see some fascinating info about it via http://crueize.com/

Yes, a lot actually. Most of it only comes out at night,
but the insects alone are amazing there. I've seen beautiful
grasshoppers the size of XLR plugs ;-)
I can really recommend it for nature recordists, if you dare
to explore, there are stunningly great swimming spots in the
valleys too. Going there between may and september is best.
End of July you can easily camp out without a tent, even.
Summers in the South of France can be just perfect, in my view.
Never too hot for me, never too cold. Very dry, and you'll
always have rocks and mountains to block winds,
never too much danger, a very prosperous culture,
mostly farmers, and they're never in a hurry.

My only problem with France is the language.
I really don't like it very much, and so I've never been
able to speak it the way my parents learned to.
My French decoder is fine, but my encoder sucks..

I think so too.
