サンジェルバージュの天然記念物・トップ6

有名なポン・デュ・ガールからわずか数分、サルペトリエール先史時代の岩陰があります。ここは歴史と自然愛好家にとってまさに隠れた名所です。数千年も前に人々がここに住み、自然の岩陰を避難場所として利用していました。考古学的発見は、旧石器時代から新石器時代にかけての定住を証明しています。 そこへの道は短く、静かな地中海沿岸の風景の中を抜けていきます。ポン・デュ・ガールを訪れる人は、岩陰への訪問をハイキングと組み合わせて、私たちの祖先がこの歴史的な場所でどのように暮らしていたかを垣間見ることができます。

Simply beautiful to look at and a great building that has stood for centuries

Gorges du Gardon Biosphere Reserve. The Gardon is a river in the French region of Occitanie. It flows beneath the Pont du Gard. The aqueduct is one of the best-preserved Roman structures in all of Europe. Magnificent, imposing, and truly ingenious.

A beautiful loop from Collias. However, the "lower" section will be much more interesting than the "plateau" (T3). There are still a few tricky sections to note in the lower section (T2).

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.

Due to the very steep climb, once the cave is passed, over rocks with places where even steel handrails had to be placed, this walk cannot be classified as “easy for every walker”.

Already seen accustomed for 50 years

The site of the balm (cave) has been occupied by humans since the Paleolithic era. Later, around the 7th century, a hermit (Saint Vérédème) settled here. Having performed several miracles, the place then became a place of pilgrimage and a chapel now stands at the entrance of the cave.
