Straddling the Loz\u00e8re and Aveyron regions, the TARN GORGES<\/strong> are among the most spectacular natural sites in France. Don’t miss to discover them during your camping holidays in Lozere<\/a> or your camping holidays in Aveyron<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Gorges du Tarn is a magnificent winding canyon drawn by the Tarn between the Causse M\u00e9jean and the Causse du Sauveterre. In the limestone soil of the Grands Causses, the river has taken its time to dig a deep gash. Bordered by a road which connects Millau to Florac without ever leaving the river, the Gorges du Tarn can be discovered by car, on foot or by canoe. Hiking trails allow you to play tightrope walkers on the ledges which overhang the high cliffs, real stone walls which surround the Tarn. The Gorges road is a superb route to be completed by car. Never boring, this itinerary takes you from village to village through some of the most spectacular landscapes of the gorges. By canoe or during a boat trip, you will be offered another view of the gorges. You will discover the cliffs on the right bank which can only be seen from the road.<\/p>\n

Going up the Tarn Gorges<\/h2>\n

Castelbouc<\/h3>\n

During your walk in the Tarn Gorges, take the time to stop and visit some of the villages which are dotted along the river. If you discover the Gorges du Tarn by following the current, from the Loz\u00e8re to the Aveyron, then make a first stop at Castelbouc. On the left bank of the Tarn, this semi-troglodytic hamlet seems to be suspended from the cliff, in the shade of the ruins of its medieval castle set on a steep rock 60 metres high. Legend has it that a lord who remained alone among his subjects during the Crusades lived a life of lust. At the time of his death, the silhouette of a goat is said to have been seen flying over the castle, giving the village the name of Castelbouc (Bouc is goat in french).<\/p>\n

Sainte-Enimie<\/h3>\n

Listed as one of the most beautiful villages in France<\/a>, this village spreads out in terraces at the foot of an old Benedictine monastery in a meander of the Tarn. Legend has it that Princess Enimie, affected by leprosy, came here to treat her illness at the source of the Burle river. She withdrew to a cave to live as a hermit in the heights of the village. A chapel now protects the cave. A path that starts opposite the bridge of Sainte-Enimie leads to this hermitage (about 3\/4 of an hour round trip). There you can enjoy a beautiful view of the village.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
