A former defense and observation post surmounted by a vanished castle, the rock of Capluc is today a must-see on the Causse Méjean.

Its summit is accessible by ladders (no equipment is necessary for the ascent). It is now topped by a large iron cross which dominates the confluence of the Tarn to the west and the Jonte to the south.

The name of Capluc derives from the association of the words “cap” and “luz” which would mean “head” and “light”. These words would thus symbolize the place where the first rays of the rising sun shine.

The Capluc with its Cross overlooks the Rozier ... It is accessed by the GR then a few ladders hanging on the rock. Magnificent view at the top of the Tarn gorges and the 3 Causses.

The Rocher de Capluc is a formidable rocky promontory at the tip of the Causse Méjean (causse located between the gorges of the Tarn and the Jonte, therefore between the Causse de Sauveterre and the Causse Noir, hence its name “Causse Médian”). It thus offers a 360° view of these gorges and causses.
