The nature in the area

Languedoc-Roussillon includes five French departments, many of which are quite famous for their natural and cultural characteristics. Auvergne is one of those departments. The French adore this region. It is a popular hiking area, where everyone is able to immerse in French nature.

We perfectly understand that it is sometimes an impossible task to escape from the Cote d’Azur crowds. Nevertheless, if you choose the right period of the year when the season is at its beginning or near its end, you might get a chance to enjoy some of the most beautiful beaches in the world almost by yourself. A small, rarely crowded beach is Calanque de Saint-Barthelemy. It is situated in a mesmerizing bay area where you can enjoy the late summer colors of nature without the hustle and noises of the famous Riviera beaches.

If you want to explore a bit of a wilder area head to Cirque de Navacelles. It is a short drive away; however, this is one of the largest canyons in Europe and a must-see! The river Vis carved the Causes of Larzac rocks, creating a series of gorges. The gorges can reach up to 300 m deep in some places. There are three panorama platforms, which provide stunning views of the Cirque de Navacelles and the Gorges de la Vis.
