Remarkable rocks
Discover these astonishing whims of nature, in the heart of a grandiose environment. The Gorges de la Jonte, cousins of the Gorges du Tarn, are no match for the splendor of the latter. You’ll have the chance to admire them on a sumptuous corniche hike, during which you’ll be spied by hordes of griffon vultures circling above the wild cliffs.
- Is there access to the rocks?

You can approach them via the “Corniche du Causse Méjean” hike, departing from Cassagnes or Le Rozier.
