Labyrinth of Rocks of the Cévennes

Highlight • Natural Monument

Very nice, something special. The tour is not too long and also determines something exciting for smaller children. It is very rocky, partly alpine. The tour can also be done in slippers, but I felt much safer in my trekking shoes. We went the other way around and I think that's the better direction. Most of the tour is shady, only the spots along the road are very sunny. Bathing only possible in certain places. A paradise for climbers and boulderers. Here you come across a lot of routes and blocks. Here it is almost like Fontain Bleau. Only here there is water in addition to the white sand. In summary: highly recommended.
