ミヨーの峡谷・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.

Located in the department of Aveyron, Roque-Sainte-Marguerite presents a typical setting of Occitania. The village has a notable architectural ensemble, including traditional houses and historical remains. Its position near the Dourbie gorges and within the Grands Causses offers visitors a variety of opportunities to explore the surrounding nature and indulge in outdoor activities.

Superb view point over the Monna ravine and the Dourbie valley.

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

The Roc des Agudes is a perfect belvedere for admiring the Tarn and Jonte gorges (and therefore the foothills of the Causse Méjean and the Causse Noir) from the southern end of the Causse de Sauveterre.
