サン＝ジュリアン＝デ＝ラ＝ネフ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Pretty little village in the Cevennes.

Access to the Roc du Blanc via the Sanctuary of Notre-Dame du Suc, via the statue of the Virgin Mary, is quite easy, provided you have some legs and a good cardio! It really climbs quite a bit for a good part, to finally calm down when you reach the antennas. Afterwards, it is only a "big" path, where it is not uncommon to come across hunters. Be careful, at the Roc Blanc, you are between 911 and 940m above sea level, depending on where you are positioned, it is important to cover yourself, especially in winter. The descent is steep (on my route). The path is sometimes not very obvious on the ridge, you have to follow the blue markings with a semblance of yellow! The hike in the opposite direction is tough, due to its slope of more than 38° in places, advice to amateurs!

A spectacular entrance! The interior is rich in concretion. The cave is blackened by the fires of yesteryear, and by different minerals. A few ropes, or you have to be equipped! I was able to climb as a caver, it's not bad, especially at the entrance on the right, which opens onto a balcony, at the top of the cavity! DO NOT VENTURE THERE WITHOUT EQUIPMENT, it's VERY DANGEROUS! A few beautiful gours in passing. Too bad this cavity is so busy, some have no respect for anything, which degrades the authentic appearance of this beautiful cavity.

Be careful it slips!

Nice beautiful swimming place

The Roc Blanc, with its 942 m altitude, is the highest point of the Massif de la Séranne.

Montdardier, whose name means "desired mountain," contains deposits of precious minerals. Even more precious is the water this village harbors, a true treasure on these arid limestone plateaus. This town is also located on an ancient Roman road between Le Vigan and Lodève. It was once an important crossroads for trade between the Cévennes and the Causses. Montdardier Castle is an eye-catcher in this relatively flat landscape, rising above the town. This fortress, built in the 12th century, has been sacked many times and partially destroyed. It was the French architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc who restored it in 1860.

The historical heritage of this village is very old. Testimony of the Neolithic, of the seven menhirs identified in the town, five are still erected. This town is located on the Saint-Roman pass, which gives it strategic importance. The name of the village comes from a military camp built by the Romans in the 1st century AD. The camp was then called Romanus de Codeyra. Aware of the strategic location of the Col de Saint-Roman, a castle was built in the Middle Ages instead of the Roman oppidum and the tower built by the Saracens.
