St Ambroix is a lively market town on the very eastern tip of the Cevennes National Park.

It has a wonderful local-produce market each Tuesday morning, and a brocante/vide grenier every Saturday.

There are various bars, restaurants and other shops, including a superb Chocolaterie and quiet cafe.

From here, you can make excursions into the Cevennes, Provence and the Ardeche.
