Cartes – XVIIIe siècle
Au XVIIIe siècle, la religion réformée est interdite en France. Les protestants qui n’ont pas pris le chemin de l’exil ou n’ont pas abjuré tentent de conserver leur religion, en dépit de la répression. C’est le temps du Désert, dont on distingue deux périodes : le «Désert héroïque» (1685-1760) et le «Désert toléré», ou second Désert qui prend fin avec la promulgation de l’édit de tolérance en 1787.Les Églises tentent de se réorganiser dans la clandestinité : on compte 120 Églises restaurées en 1730.
