AUBENAS

'Aubenas' is a city and commune in the southern part of the Ardèche ''département'' in the Rhône Valley of France. Population (1999): 11,048.
It is the seat of several government offices. The surrounding countryside, mountainous and rugged, is popular for vacation homes.
The Ardèche River flows through the commune.
Aubenas is part of the "Pays d'Aubenas-Vals", composed of 10 towns and villages including Vals les Bains, for approximately 23,000 people.
Aside from a long-year commercial activity, Aubenas has a good strategic position on the touristic field, at crossroads of a regional natural park, the zone of the Ardèche river canyon, and the start of mountains.
The chesnut industry is one testimony of the intense agricultural activity earlier in time.
