Under the title "France's Wild South," an episode of the British television series "National Parks – Protected Natural Wonders" on 3sat presents the Cévennes mountains. The accompanying text on the website states: "Lush green mountains, barren plateaus, and deep gorges characterize this landscape, which, unlike France's coasts, has not yet been discovered by mass tourism. It also boasts some of the country's most spectacular river landscapes." The compelling documentary, available in German, can be viewed in the media library at the following link: https://www.3sat.de/dokumentation/nationalparks-geschuetzte-naturwunder/nationalparks-geschuetzte-naturwunder-cevennen-frankreichs-wilder-sueden-102.html

In either direction, the Navacelles cirque is worth it.

Access to the Roc du Blanc via the Sanctuary of Notre-Dame du Suc, via the statue of the Virgin Mary, is quite easy, provided you have some legs and a good cardio! It really climbs quite a bit for a good part, to finally calm down when you reach the antennas. Afterwards, it is only a "big" path, where it is not uncommon to come across hunters. Be careful, at the Roc Blanc, you are between 911 and 940m above sea level, depending on where you are positioned, it is important to cover yourself, especially in winter. The descent is steep (on my route). The path is sometimes not very obvious on the ridge, you have to follow the blue markings with a semblance of yellow! The hike in the opposite direction is tough, due to its slope of more than 38° in places, advice to amateurs!

It is also called the Baume Auriol belvedere. Sit at the edge of the low wall, under the trees and contemplate!

An absolutely exceptional loop through the La Vis gorges. We loved the single tracks overlooking the gorges, the very winding descents, the magnificent viewpoints, the forest after Blandas as we join the return path to the Moulin de la Foux. Warning: this loop is intended for mountain bikers who are not afraid of heights. Singles are very exposed and caution is required.

The Navacelles cirque is a treasure of French heritage. Nestled in the heart of the Vis gorges, which cut into the Blandas and Larzac causses, this green meander is a breathtaking natural site, with a depth of 300 meters. The sumptuous panorama of this natural curiosity and the alignment of the Vis gorges is breathtaking.
