History & geography

Geography

Branoux is located near the mountain la Baraque, and close to the D32 road, on a relatively flat place called la Plaine. Les Taillades is an extension due to the demographic boom caused by the influx of workers and miners employed in la Grand-Combe. Les Taillades was built in the Gardon valley, on the right bank and crossed by the RN106. Blannaves is a hamlet, mostly in ruins and close to the Cambous Lake. * L'Abrit * L'Arenas * Branoux * Le Camp des Nonnes * Le Castanet de Blannaves * La Civadière * Le Fraissinet * Le Galissard * Le Lauzas * Mas de Léon * Le Monnier * La Planquette * Les Taillades
