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

A truly extraordinary spot. A few information panels explain a great deal about the mill, as well as the resurgence of the Vis River. This place should be respected, of course (as everywhere). Be careful, there are a few tricky sections. Keep an eye on your children, pets, or elderly visitors.

This pass, discreetly nestled among the fir trees, is a great road and pedestrian crossing. It also allows cyclists and gravel enthusiasts to take the trails that go a little deeper into the coniferous forests.
