Gorges du Tarn Causses

Gorges du Tarn Causses is a municipality in Lozère, covering limestone plateaus and deep river valleys that create a varied landscape. The Tarn River flows through dramatic gorges, cutting through the terrain and defining much of the terrain's character.

The municipality was created in 2017 through the merging of three former communes, establishing a larger administrative unit in the region. This consolidation was part of a broader administrative reorganization across France.

Walking paths connect small villages where residents follow traditional ways of living and maintain close ties to the land. Visitors can observe how daily life moves at a slower pace, shaped by the surrounding nature and local customs.

Visitors can find diverse accommodation options ranging from hotels to campsites spread throughout the region. Easy access to hiking trails and river activities makes the area suitable for outdoor adventures and water sports.

The area maintains one of France's lowest population densities, making it one of the least populated regions in the country. This sparse settlement creates an open landscape where visitors can explore without feeling crowded.
