| Fontes is buried in the famous Midi wine growing area, with vineyards
surrounding the entire village. In fact winegrowing is the main
occupation. It is situated on the sun drenched flanks of the Cevenne
Hills. |

|
| It is a pretty and very friendly village with a “bonjour”
in the street being rewarded by a big smile. Fontes
is a genuine working village rather than a tourist village, featuring
an equal amount of tractors and cars. |
