Canaules is a small French village full of charm whose main activity is the cultivation of vines. It's an excellent starting point for exploring the Cévennes and the charming little towns around it if you can manage to leave the sparkling water of the Mas de la Bastide swimming pool. 50m from the Mas, opposite the town hall, the village café welcomes you for lunch or dinner and for essential shopping. The medieval town of Anduze with its restaurants, small shops, activities for adults and children is very close.
