The Causses and the Cévennes, Mediterranean agro-pastoral Cultural Landscape
The Causses and the Cévennes, Mediterranean agro-pastoral Cultural Landscape, Mediterranean agro-pastoral landscape in southern Massif Central, France
The Causses and Cévennes encompass 302,319 hectares of limestone plateaus, valleys, and mountains across four departments: Lozère, Hérault, Gard, and Aveyron.
Between the 12th and 14th centuries, monastic orders developed irrigation systems and constructed roads throughout the region to support agricultural activities.
The traditional practice of transhumance continues on Mont Lozère, where shepherds guide their flocks between summer and winter pastures along ancient cattle tracks.
Visitors can explore the landscape through an extensive network of hiking trails that connect various stone villages, agricultural terraces, and natural formations.
The region maintains operational medieval water management systems, including roof cisterns and underground channels that irrigate stone terraces at local farms.
