The Tarn Gorges, at the heart of nature
Formed over many years by nature, the Tarn Gorges are a spectacular sight, located at the heart of a very green region, with rocky meanders and abundant vegetation. Along with the Grands Plateaux, the area makes up France’s green tourism zone, where you can enjoy exploring this incredible region on foot, in a canoe, or by bike. Here’s our advice to help you get the most out of your stay with a holiday rental in the Tarn Gorges area!
Discover the outstanding natural beauty
The impressive canyon formed by the Tarn over the centuries extends to the south west of the Lozere region, and is bordered by the Sauveterre plateau and the Mejean plateau. You will be shocked by the beauty of the Grands Plateaux, a world heritage site since 2011. The Tarn Gorges region is very well known for its caves, its caverns, and its underground scenery, all of which attract numerous visitors who come to admire the natural beauty of the area. Take the guided tour of the Aven Armand grotto, discovered at the end of the 19th century, and you will come across a breath taking sight.
If you enjoy the views of the great outdoors, head to the Sauveterre plateau, where you can enjoy the view from an altitude of 400m, looking towards the Tarn gorges and its incredible landscapes! You could then head over to the Pas de Soucy, formed by huge collapsed cliffs, the rubble having both a sublime and chaotic appearance. During your stay near the Tarn Gorges you could also take a boat trip along the river.
