Under the title “France’s Wild South,” an episode of the British television series »National Parks – Protected Natural Wonders« on 3sat introduces the Cévennes. The accompanying text on the website states: “Lush green mountains, barren high plateaus, and deep gorges characterize this landscape, which, unlike France’s coasts, has not yet been discovered by mass tourism. Yet, it boasts what are probably the country’s most spectacular river landscapes.” The worthwhile film contribution in German can be accessed 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

As a local and a cyclist, I can confirm that the scenery is magnificent and the small roads are ideal for cycling, provided you avoid the peak period from July 15th to August 15th. However, I regret that you only mention the village of Le Rozier in the route descriptions, while the photos are mostly of Peyreleau, a superb, unspoiled village, away from the traffic of the gorges, which it faces on the other side of the Jonte River! Note: Le Rozier is in Lozère, while Peyreleau is in Aveyron.

Cabrillac is a typical example of the small hamlets found throughout the Cévennes. These small stone buildings are characteristic of the local architecture.

Lovely runnable climb, the start through the forest is nice for cycling. Afterwards the road surface becomes a bit worse. Nicely runnable climb.

From the nearby road, there's no sign that such a building is there. And yet, there is!
