At the heart of the Cévennes National Park, the endlessly-changing waters of the Tarn, from its springs at the foot of Mont Lozère to its wild dash through the dizzying canyons. Here, gorges and great causses come together to make you teeter along steep ledges before you are engulfed in the faults and underground depths. Welcome to nature at its most grandiose, where time seems to stand still like the unassuming villages with their rocky walls and winding roads.
