History
The charms of the "Belle Epoque"
Unlike many spa towns, Lamalou-les-Bains is not of Roman origin. Its name comes, quite simply, from the stream which runs through the town and which was formerly called “Malou” or “Betoulet”, which in time was transformed into the present name of “Bitoulet”.
INFO
Hérépian
A typical southern french village
Built around its churches, with old houses in local stone, Hérépian is worth a detour. Ideally situated at a crossroads where the Mare and Orb valleys meet, Hérépian owes its rise to the busy traffic of goods and silver ore from the neighbouring villages during the eighteenth century.

Le Pradal
The good life

After centuries of splendid isolation, the past few years have seen the construction of numerous new houses, proof if any was needed of its new-found attractiveness.
