Magnificent medieval village to see

Lens limestone was primarily reserved for intricately decorated works, as its composition allows for fine and in-depth work. It was shipped to Arles or Beaucaire before being exported to construction sites all around the Mediterranean. But in Nîmes, it was of course used for all the ornamentation of the arenas, the Maison Carrée, and the Temple of Diana. https://echosdeleinsgardonnenque.fr/en-visite-aux-carrieres-romaines/

Magnificent segment which connects Tornac to the RD 133 between Anduze and St Félix de Pallières (via Chemin de Cabrides) passing by the Ste Baudille church and the Monastery. The road turns into a track going up the Ourne stream and provides access to several swimming or refreshment points, uncrowded, as bucolic as possible, and perfect for gravel.

Magnificent Roman quarry, difficult to access but worth the effort. We can see the cutting of certain stone blocks as well as elements sculpted on site (pillars) that have not been moved.

A beautiful old Roman quarry at the end of a small path.

Attention! The stretch between Le Tavernes and Vézénobres is absolutely not suitable for touring bikes! Steep sections with large stones or slopes with fine gravel, almost invisible overgrown paths, over an old railway bridge with "no access". We did it with a touring bike🫣

Very close to Anduze, the castle of Tornac is a 12th century castle perched on a rocky outcrop and which offers a magnificent view of the Gardon d'Anduze.
