FRANCE
Tarn, Jonte and Dourbie Gorges Tips: The
Cévennes, a part of the Massif Central, are easy to get to by car or high
speed train. We walked the fields in the Causses , the uplands, as well as
the Jonte-, Dourbie- and Tarn canyons. Go down, go up, go down , etc. : heavy
climbs and heavy descends. Maps: They
offer you good maps in the region. We bought: IGN 2641OT and 2640OT. Accommodation:
Plenty: hotels, pensions, Gites d’étappe, chambre d’hôtes , Gites ruraux, at
the farm, at a castle, whatever you want, dependent on your purse…….. Easter
2003: an (almost) round walk in a spectacular mountainous area . A
wonderful variety of scenery and
habitats: ideal for the walker! Height: 380-875m. |
