Aveyron - Lozère - Haute Loire
From valley to plateau, from heath to pasture, from hill to mountain … go out and meet extraordinary landscapes. Aveyron, Lozère and Haute-Loire bring together the safely conserved natural diversity of flora and fauna, and warmly welcoming villages. Here everything is right for spending quiet happy holidays making the most of the pure air of wide open spaces.

The Lozère, a region of springs and vast, open spaces, will fill you with wonder. The region of the Gorges, recently classified as a 'Grand Site National', offers you impressive and diversified landscapes, as well as exceptional flora and fauna for nature lovers.
The Tarn, Jonte and Dourbie Gorges cut deeply into the 'Grands Causses' to form an impressive natural landscape.
At the MONT AIGOUAL Observatory, you will discover a meteorological museum that is unique in Europe, and thanks to satellite images, you will see how the clouds move around.
On the GRANDS CAUSSES, the caves of Aven Arman and Dargilan, the swallowhole of Bramabiau, the chaos of Montpellier and old Nîmes where the rocks look almost like ruins, will take you into an astonishing mineral world.
A country where ANIMALS ARE KING :
the vulture belvedere allows direct observation of tawny and black vultures and the museum recounts the story of their reintroduction.
