About agriculture in Le Vigan

Located in the Gard department of Occitanie, Le Vigan sits at the southern edge of the Cévennes mountains. The surrounding rural landscape is characterized by the deep valleys of the Arre River, rugged forested slopes, and traditional stone-walled terraces that have been carved into the hillsides over centuries to facilitate mountain farming.

The area is renowned for its highly specialized agriculture, most notably the production of the Cévennes Sweet Onion (Oignon doux des Cévennes), grown on the steep terraces. Other significant activities include chestnut harvesting, apple orchards, and livestock farming, particularly sheep and goats managed for the production of regional cheeses like Pélardon.

For agricultural workers and agronomists, seasonal demand peaks during the onion harvest in late summer and the chestnut season in autumn. Due to the terraced terrain, many operations require intensive manual labor, offering opportunities for those experienced in specialized horticulture and traditional mountain agricultural practices.
