Trail Reviews
Totally great tour. Challenging only in a few places, but with a great view of the entire gorge. We recommend.
Beautiful walk with some scrambling. Wrong again, but keep left on the walk and you'll get there. Saw several vultures and an enormous variety in flora. The ride from Florac via the D16 is also an experience for someone from a flat country😉.
Since a kayaking trip didn't work out on the spur of the moment, I decided to go for a hike along a scenic path at the upper edge of the Tarn Gorge. It was a very good alternative, and one I didn't regret. There are a striking number of stone arches here—nature also builds some triumphal arches here.
It's never taken us so long to cover 8 km before, but around every bend there was a new view to admire, and then there were countless griffon vultures to admire. One flew so close over our heads that we could hear the sound of the airflow against its wings before we even saw it... Unfortunately, we weren't fast enough for a picture, but we did manage to snap a few from a bit further away.
