A historic trail of around 2 km invites you to explore the historic village of Vabre, from the Middle Ages to the days of the Resistance, which led to the village being recognised as one of the “Villages of the Righteous” following the Second World War.
From its earliest historical remains (the 13th-century Porte de l’Horloge) right up to the present day, Vabre has stood the test of time, bearing witness to the Wars of Religion (the 17th-century houses on Rue Vieille), the golden age of the spinning mills (the 19th and early 20th centuries) and the Maquis, particularly during the Second World War, when it played a very active role.
During this dark period, the exemplary behaviour of the inhabitants, who hid and protected around a hundred Jews, has earned Vabre membership of the ‘Towns and Villages of the Righteous’ network since 2015 (in July and August, you can visit the Maquis Exhibition during the Tourist Information Office’s opening hours).
Don’t miss the 14-stop historical trail to find out more.
In 2018, the village was awarded the ‘village étoilé’ label for its energy-saving policy and efforts to reduce light pollution.
The Sidobre granite quarries, masonry firms and many other businesses are based in the Craft Industry Zone and the Business Centre.
