Great report and impressions of the Cévennes @JakobusPilger👍 But a bit long 😅😃

Under the title "France's Wild South," an episode of the British television series "National Parks – Protected Natural Wonders" on 3sat presents the Cévennes mountains. The accompanying text on the website states: "Lush green mountains, barren plateaus, and deep gorges characterize this landscape, which, unlike France's coasts, has not yet been discovered by mass tourism. It also boasts some of the country's most spectacular river landscapes." The compelling documentary, available in German, can be viewed in the media library at the following link: https://www.3sat.de/dokumentation/nationalparks-geschuetzte-naturwunder/nationalparks-geschuetzte-naturwunder-cevennen-frankreichs-wilder-sueden-102.html

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

Unique place and unique nature reserve

.

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.

very beautiful view with ford at the bottom of the conclusions, route without major difficulty, parking nearby

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.
