From valley to plateau, from heath to pasture, from hill to mountain … go out and meet extraordinary landscapes. Aveyron, Lozère and Haute-Loire bring together the safely conserved natural diversity of flora and fauna, and warmly welcoming villages. Here everything is right for spending quiet happy holidays making the most of the pure air of wide open spaces.
The Lozère, a region of springs and
vast, open spaces, will fill you with
wonder. The region of the Gorges,
recently classified as a 'Grand Site
National', offers you impressive and
diversified landscapes, as well as
exceptional flora and fauna for
nature lovers.
The Tarn, Jonte and Dourbie Gorges
cut deeply into the 'Grands Causses'
to form an impressive natural landscape.
At the MONT AIGOUAL Observatory,
you will discover a meteorological
museum that is unique in Europe, and
thanks to satellite images, you will see
how the clouds move around.
On the GRANDS CAUSSES, the caves of
Aven Arman and Dargilan, the swallowhole
of Bramabiau, the chaos of
Montpellier and old Nîmes where the
rocks look almost like ruins, will take
you into an astonishing mineral world.
A country where ANIMALS ARE KING :
the vulture belvedere allows direct
observation of tawny and black vultures
and the museum recounts the
story of their reintroduction.
The wild Przéwalski horses, an endangered
breed hailing from the Mongolian
Steppes have been safeguarded on
the vast areas of the Méjean Causse.
European bisons and Gévaudan wolves
also find a welcome in Margeride.
