1. Capluc Rock : The Capluc rock is fantastic for the number of views it offers: the Tarn gorge, the Jonte gorge, the village of Peyreleau, as well as a view over the Aveyron Tarn valley. It is a 360° view not to be missed and also offers the possibility of observing the vultures nesting in the Jonte gorges.
2. Aven Armand : A masterpiece of nature that goes beyond description and words, and places Aven Armand among the most beautiful caves in the world. A major tourist attraction in France, this cave in the Cevennes is one of the most visited sites in Lozère.
3. Portes Castle : Known as the Vaisseau des Cévennes because of its spectacular stone prow, unique in Europe, the Château de Portes watches over the ancient route taken by the pilgrims of Saint-Gilles and the Crusaders to the Holy Land. A true gateway to the High Cevennes at the foot of Mont Lozère, it defies over 10 centuries of history.
4. Sainte Enimie : On the slopes of a canyon carved out by the Tarn gorges, Sainte-Enimie's massive limestone houses stand at the foot of an ancient Benedictine monastery, of which a chapel and a chapter house remain. At its feet, the spring of Burle which is said to have cured the Merovingian princess Enimie.
