Tips

February 16, 2023

The Causse de Sauveterre is an altitude plateau (between 800 and 1,100m) cut by the Lot to the north and the Tarn to the south. It presents a rocky semi-desert landscape typical of the Grands Causses.
The prehistoric traces of human presence are relatively important there, as in all the Cévennes. It was also a place of passage of the Grande Draille du Languedoc (transhumance path) and a place of Sauveté ("salvetat" or "Sauveterre"), that is to say a zone of refuge in the Middle Ages (here around of the hamlet of Sauveterre and its church) and in which the "Peace of God" was instituted. It was then forbidden to prosecute fugitives, indebted peasants, petty criminals, etc.
