Geology:
The site is in the geological unit of the Mounts of Faugères (Flysh of higher Viséen, i.e. mainly of the schists). The plates which dominate Vailhan are known as "limestones of Denovien" older than these schists.

There was inversion of relief.
 

Our village:
"It is one of these villages languedocians which the acceleration of time hardly disturbed. Here the inhabitants live at their rate/rhythm, the medium of a decoration of garrigues and rubbles, made to allure the visitor, of which the eye is also attracted by church of the XVII th century old dominating a thin thread of water."

                              "History of the Commune of Vailhan" - Albert Fabre (1879).
