レドノンの天然記念物・トップ7

A picturesque cave monastery, the likes of which are not found anywhere else in these latitudes.

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

An interesting visit in a simple and pleasant landscape. The view from the top of the site extends into the distance over the Rhône. The very well-signposted route is enhanced by a flyer giving all the necessary explanations for a good understanding of this walk. Note, however, the lack of signage to find the site (no information sign before arriving at the access path). Other negative points: no toilets or water point. But a large parking lot. However, these small drawbacks should not prevent you from discovering this very curious construction dug into shell sandstone.

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”.

opening hours very complicated: https://abbaye-saint-roman.com/ But a very special place
