TEMPLE DE FLORAC

Three times rebuilt in the course of its history, the Protestant temple of Florac bears witness to its painful history punctuated by religious conflicts and the difficult cohabitation of religious communities in the Cévennes
The facade of the massive building, rectangular in plan, consists simply of a gable with a projection in the middle of which is inserted a clock, the whole surmounted by a bell tower-wall
The entrance door has a more elaborate architectural treatment, inspired by the Tuscan order, framed by two columns and topped by a pediment. The inscription "Eglise réformée de France" appears on the entablature
Inside, there is little furniture or decoration, except for the pulpit
This general sobriety corresponds to the liturgical practice of the Reformed religion, with the importance given to preaching.

The present building was built in 1833, the same year as the church, a symbolic act marking the return of religious tolerance.
