Grands Causses Regional Park - France

Grands Causses is located in southern Massif Central (central range) at the bottom of Cevennes mountains near the city of Millau in the Aveyron-Lozere counties. The area is divided in four major plateau (called here causse): Causse Mejean, Causse Noir (black causse), Causse du Larzac and Causse de Sauveterre. These causses encircled by gorges and towering cliffs are known for their beautiful wild landscape of hash dolomitic limestone plateau and their old and rustic mediaval hamlets. The water erosion over these plateau caused chaotic jagged rocks full of fanciful and the greatest density of natural arches in western Europe.

Causse Mejean - Lozere

The Causse Mejean is the highest of the four Grands Causses with an altitude of over 1000 meters above sea level. It's the most barren and isolated with spectacular overlooks on scenic canyons of Tarn and Jonte Rivers and surrounded by delightful village of Le Rozier. It's also the home of numerous soaring vultures. The Causse Mejean is housing some great arches as the biggest Baous del Biel, the remarkable closest trio of Arcs de St-Pierre and the wonderful free-standing Arcade des Bergers. See gallery above.
