Ardèche Department

History

As a result of the reformation of John Calvin in Geneva, Ardèche was one of the areas which strongly embraced Protestantism partly as a result of missionary activity of 1534. The Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685 outlawed Protestantism. During the French Revolution, in 1789, with the Declaration of Human Rights, Ardèche Protestants were at last recognized as citizens in their own right, free at last to practice their faith.

Named after the river of the same name, the Ardèche was one of the original 83 departments created during the French Revolution on 4 March 1790.[1]
