Gorges du Tarn

Head inland from the Languedoc coast, and north into the Lozere department, and you will find one of France’s scenic highlights at the Gorges du Tarn.
The gorges run for some 40 kilometres along the course of the Tarn River, starting west of Florac finishing near Les Vignes.
There is a road that follows along the bottom of the gorge offering some very impressive scenery and a sprinkling of villages to discover en route.
You might not realise as you travel through the cliff-lined valley but these are the deepest gorges to be found in Europe – they don’t ‘feel’ as big as the Gorges du Verdon further east in France for example.
