Gorges du Tarn guide
The Tarn Gorges are dramatic gorges running from Le Rozier, north of Millau, to Quézac, in the Lozère department of the Massif central, northern Langudoc-Roussillon
Following the course of the Tarn River for 50 kilometres, the Tarn Gorges are the deepest gorges to be found anywhere in Europe. They are also extremely picturesque, and offer several great vantage points.
Perhaps the best of all views is from Saint-Georges-de-Lévéjac, 15 km north of Le Rosier, at the so called 'point sublime' which has very far-reaching views down the canyon, with cliffs on either side soaring to 500 metres high.
There are also several attractive villages in scenic locations along the route to visit, including Castelbouc (picture) and Sainte Enimie. The old stone bridge at Quezac represents the northern end of the Gorges du Tarn. Montbrun, to the south, has several waymarked paths with good views, and other good stopping points include Blajoux and St Chely du Tarn, and the 'built in a cliff village' of Pougnadoires.
The road that follows along the gorge is very busy in the summer, and doesn't always have the best views of the gorges. For those really you need to get out and walk, or even better hire a canoe. Not surprisingly the area is very popular for outdoor sports, including hiking and canoeing.
There are numerous possibilities for both of these sports and the tourist office at Sainte Enimie will be able to advise you - along with information about other attractions in the region, including caves/grottes and the Chateau de Peyrelade.
Of interest also (for children and adults alike) is the 'Park of Chaos of the Montpellier of Old' - a little to the south of Peyreleau, and with curious rock formations, weather beaten over the years into various arches, animal shapes etc.
Also to see, between the gorges du Tarn and the Mont Aigoual is the Abime de Bramabiau, a network of dramatic gorges formed by the little 'Bonheur' stream and millions of years of erosion.
