Franquevaux is located in the municipality of Beauvoisin, in the heart of the Petite Camargue, halfway between the cities of Saint-Gilles and Vauvert. Located near the Rhône Canal in Sète and on the edge of the Scamandre pond, facing the wild landscapes that spread out to infinity, this hamlet of Franquevaux was built on the ruins of an old Cistercian abbey, some remains still well visible.
