Beautiful viewpoint over the meanders of the Gardon below

Superb view of the meandering Gardon River below. The small adjoining cave provides shelter if needed, but access is a bit tricky.

Access is only available during certain periods of the year, due to the conservation of the small inhabitants that inhabit the area. The cave is open from August 16th to November 14th, and from March 16th to April 30th. Bring a good flashlight, as the crossing can take approximately 5 to 10 minutes. This cave is nothing more than the former underground passage of the Gardon River. Accessible to all, be careful, however, once you have crossed, you will be close to the cliff on the other side. The path beyond (T2/T3) can be daunting for some people. Don't hesitate to turn back if you have any hesitation.

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/

Beautiful place and beautiful view. The trail to get there is quiet (although it climbs). The single tracks are much more technical!

You have to sweat to get there! Come on, go!

Stunning and sporty

To do during the beautiful off-season days. In summer, access is regulated according to the level of forest fire risk.
