Tips
The Cirque de Tournemire is an extraordinary site on the southwestern edge of the Causse du Larzac. Erosion has done its work on this limestone plateau from sediments and shells of ancient marine organisms. It is also in the area that a magnificent Plesiosaur skeleton was discovered some forty years ago. Today the local fauna is rather made up of birds of prey, such as the golden eagle.
