Rose

My name is Rose, I'm a student spending a few days with my family in the Gorges du Tarn.
And I'd like to share with you my experience as a young camper in this immense wilderness!

Camping, it's vacation time!

It’s 9am… Imagine a family campsite nestled on the banks of the river Tarn, in the heart of a grandiose natural setting. In front of you, majestic cliffs rise up, sculpted by time, offering a breathtaking spectacle.
The masters of the sky, the vultures, soar gracefully over the Gorges, attracting us like magnets.

We set off to meet them!

A hike mythical!

2 hours after leaving the campsite, we set off along the signposted paths of the Causse Méjean, a sight that left us speechless!

The itinerary in detail

The Corniches du Méjean

  • Difficulty: difficult
  • Duration: 4H
  • Type of hike: loop
  • Length: 11.7 km
  • Difference in altitude: +992m/-992m

 Just wow!

We’re at the top of the cornices, and our silence speaks volumes! After the effort of the climb, it’s time for contemplation. We feel tiny in the face of the immensity of these landscapes shaped by time. A pure moment of freedom, where only silence reigns, punctuated by the cry of birds of prey. At last, they’re right there! We’re captivated by their sheer size, and want to know more about these extraordinary creatures!

We take our time to breathe, to savor this unique sensation of being alone in the world with nature… and above all, open your eyes wide: here, every panorama is a living postcard!

2pm - Visit to the Vulture House

This immersion in the heart of nature allows us to observe these fascinating birds.
An interactive and educational exhibition teaches us about the different species of vulture, their role in the ecosystem and their history in the region.

End of day Swimming!

Back at the campsite, we jump into the river to cool off… After taking in the sights and sounds of the river, I can assure you that the swim is more than welcome!
