The Grands Causses

Discover an astonishing natural heritage on the Causse de Sauveterre and Causse Méjean. Although there are no rivers on the surface of these rugged landscapes, water has many surprises in store for us as it carves out surreal abysses, caves and avens in the bowels of the earth. From the observation of geological curiosities, animals and flowers to hiking, cycling or horse-riding, come and recharge your batteries or work up a sweat in these protected areas. Exceptional panoramas and natural sites await you!

Let yourself be charmed by an extraordinary cultural heritage. The Grands Causses are listed as aUNESCO World Heritage Site as an example of the “Cultural Landscape of Mediterranean Agropastoralism”. Small-scale heritage features such as cazelles, drailles, fountains and lavognes, as well as magnificent Caussenard farms, bear witness to the special way of life that has shaped the region. Megaliths, dolmens and menhirs are also found in large numbers on the Grands Causses, some of which you can discover in our Carnet de Voyage.

Discover an exceptional terroir and know-how, and sample the local gastronomy in our restaurants, tables d’hôtes and directly on the farm. Whether in a gîte, hotel, chambre d’hôte or one of our many campsites, find the accommodation that’s right for you, for a natural, sporty or relaxing stay in the heart of a preserved area.
