Beautiful view

Viewpoint over the Causse Méjean from the chaos of Nîmes-le-Vieux. The Causse Méjean (or Méjan), a plateau cut by the Tarn to the north and the Jonte to the south, owes its name to its median position between the Causse de Sauveterre further north and the Causse Noir further south.

Unfortunately, hikers are not welcome there. The path was blocked every 20-30 meters with branches laid across it, which were obviously placed there specially. Our hike came to an abrupt end in front of a sheep fence that was stretched across the path. Meanwhile, someone had left a large dog mess in front of the driver's door of our car, which we had parked nearby on the edge of a small hamlet. The message was clear.

The Col de la Pierre Plate, at an altitude of 1016m, obviously owes its name to the dolmen whose enormous megalith that crowns it has a perfectly flat shape.

The Can de l'Hospitalet is a plateau separated from the Causse Méjean by the Tarnon. It offers magnificent views of the Cévennes. Its highest point, the Serre de Montgros, culminates at an altitude of 1,111m.

Let Édouard-Alfred Martel benefit from the description of the chaos of Nîmes-le-Vieux: "It is a front of cliffs, a projection from the surface of the Causse Méjean, which presents a great length of half-cirques, all bristling hundreds of dolomitic rocks, perforated, cut, sculpted...". Indeed, the path that winds through chaos reveals an archaic marvel lost in the heart of the Causse Méjean. None of the rocks that emerge from the ground are alike. This ruiniform site ultimately resembles a limestone forest, unfathomable and punctuated with curiosities.
