Between dizzying limestone gorges, rocky chaos and arid causses, the Cévennes National Park concentrates some of the wildest landscapes of the Massif Central, straddling Gard and Lozère.
This selection brings together the canyons of the Tarn and the Jonte, their most dizzying viewpoints, and the geological curiosities that earned the region its UNESCO World Heritage listing as a cultural landscape of Mediterranean agro-pastoralism.
A territory to explore over several days, as the sites are scattered over a vast karst plateau.
