グランコッスの峡谷・トップ12

A trail that follows the heights of the cliffs that make up the Jonte Gorges. It goes from panorama to panorama (more than a dozen panoramas are on this trail), and every time you think you've seen it all, it will offer you new perspectives, or a view of cliffs and rocks you hadn't seen before! Be careful, the trail is close to the edge at times, be aware (especially if you are prone to vertigo). Be careful, there are a few short steep sections, and quite often roots that are slippery when wet. Finally, be careful, the trail is largely within a protected biological reserve. Please be respectful and quiet.

path not very passable after 2km

The rock formation covers approximately 120 hectares. It was formed by corrosion of the dolomite rock of the Causse Noir. It was originally assumed that the rocks were a ruined city, and it was not until 1870 that a trench was cut through the rocks. The speleologist Edouard-Alfred Martel was the first to map the rocks in 1883-1884.

The rock formation is located in the western part of the department on the high plateau of the Causse Noir. To the north lie the rivers Tarn and Jonte, to the south lie the Dourbie gorges, and to the west lies the town of Millau.

Magnificent spot with its beautiful mountains ⛰ Be careful it climbs 🚴‍♀️

The Cirque du Boundoulaou, resulting from the erosion of the Larzac plateau near Millau, is a remarkable site. Its ledges offer magnificent views of the Tarn valley and the Millau viaduct.

The Tarn is the river that flows at the bottom of the eponymous gorges to throw itself a few hundred kilometers further, into the Garonne. Ideal for cooling off during scorching summers, it is also an unparalleled place of rest and relaxation. From the beaches, have fun watching the few fierce explorers descending the Tarn in canoe kayaks.

The Tarn Gorge was one of the most beautiful sections of the route through France for me. The D907 winds its way towards the pass (1088 m) in numerous curves without excessive gradients. Picturesque villages, one of the most beautiful landscapes, always spectacular views of the river or the mountain range, bridges, rock tunnels... it's totally versatile. Campsites can be found at regular intervals (although not all are open in the low season). Canoes can be rented on the river.
