The face of Christ in the Gorges du Tarn, as if sculpted from rock.The Gorges du Tarn are made up of impressive limestone cliffs sculpted by water and wind over thousands of years. Over time, erosion has created forms that are sometimes spectacular, sometimes poetic.
On the left bank of the Tarn, between the Cirque des Baumes and the hamlet of La Croze, in the direction of Les Vignes – La Malène, a face emerges from the rock. It’s known as the ” Face of Christ “. Don’t forget to look for it when you’re in the area!
The face of Christ in the Gorges du Tarn, as if sculpted from rock.The face of Christ can be seen along the Gorges du Tarn road between the Cirque des Baumes and La Malène. When the road splits into two separate lanes (towards the landing stage), the face of Christ is located in the cliff on the Causse de Sauveterre side. Open your eyes wide!
The face of Christ appeared involuntarily following the construction of the Gorges du Tarn road, completed in 1904.
