Overview

The Gorges de la Jonte, located in the southern Massif Central, form a spectacular canyon carved by the Jonte River. Situated between the departments of Lozère and Aveyron, near Millau, these gorges may be less famous than the nearby Gorges du Tarn, but they are equally stunning. The Jonte River has carved a 21-kilometer path through the limestone plateau, creating a canyon with depths between 300 and 450 meters.The area is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering hiking, rock climbing, and birdwatching. The Maison des Vautours (House of Vultures) provides a unique opportunity to observe vultures in their natural habitat, as the Gorges de la Jonte were the site of a successful vulture reintroduction program in the 1970s. The cliffs and slopes are also home to unusual rock formations, such as the Vase de Sèvres and Vase de Chine.Visitors can explore the gorges by car, taking the road from Meyrueis to Le Rozier for incredible views. Hiking trails offer panoramic vistas from viewpoints like the Balcon du Vertige. The area's rugged landscape and historical significance as a refuge for persecuted Huguenots add to its allure.
