Champdomergue is a hill in the commune of Le Collet-de-Dèze, where on 11 September 1702 the Camisards fought a battle against the royalist forces with no clear outcome. This was the first battle in the Wars in the Cévennes. In 1943-44 it was a stronghold of the Maquis resistance movement who were preparing for the liberation of the Alès basin.[1][2]

There are two monuments in the garrigues on the summit of the hill commemorating these events.[3] A third monument is to the prophet Françoise Bres, who was executed by hanging at Pont-du-Montvert, 25 January 1702.

In addition to being an important site for France's protestant minority, the hill has also attracted tourism for its historical significance and hiking trail.[4][2]
