Top 6 Caves ヴェリエールでの

very nice hike but some difficult sections.

Balsams are natural cavities that open among the rock. Located in the cliffs, they first served as shelter for wild animals, prehistoric men and then shepherds. That of Figuier offers a majestic view of the valley it overlooks.

Built on the side of a cliff in a natural cirque, Saint-Marcellin, like Églazines, is a magnificent and emblematic site where humans have always adapted to nature to build their habitat. This troglodyte village thus preserves the remains of a rock fortification but also of jasses (caves converted into sheepfolds), a Caussenard house, a chapel, a bread oven...

Unlike caves or balms, a cave is only accessible to speleologists via a well opening in the ground. So be careful.

Balms are cavities open to the outside and more or less deep. They have been frequented since the dawn of time, first by wild animals then prehistoric men, followed by shepherds... and now by tourists. That of the Fig tree is particularly photogenic.

La Grotte des Paillasses, a converted balm (cave) from which a spring springs, is an ideal place to take a cool break.

The bridge is impressive

Very beautiful troglodyte village along the Tarn with a splendid view of the Millau viaduct
