Vallée du Larzac

The Causse du Larzac

 

Vallée du Cernon

The steppes and the limestone rocks of the Larzac as far as you can see... Dry with a lunar aspect, it's the kingdom of the natural space.

You're on the Larzac's plateaus, the vastest of the Grands Causses, formed by the slow sedimentation at the bottom of a formerly tropical ocean.

The water is just a little bit present on surface : at once infiltrated, it runs, sculpts and dissolves itself in the limestone depth.

That's why an extraordinary network of galleries, caves, rivers and subterranean lakes exists.

And the water reappears like a miracle in the hollow of the valleys.

Land of pasture of the ewes at the origin of the famous Roquefort, the Larzac is recognized thanks to its exceptional natural spaces and its rich historical heritage.
