Bozouls

The River Dourdou has carved a deep limestone gorge through Bozouls, creating a natural amphitheater with houses perched along its edges.

The settlement of Bozouls developed during the Middle Ages around a castle that stood at the edge of the canyon, providing protection for local inhabitants.

The Saint Faust Church, constructed in the 12th century, stands prominently at the edge of the canyon, representing regional Romanesque architecture.

The commune maintains a network of marked hiking trails that circle the canyon, allowing visitors to explore the geological formation from different viewpoints.

The horseshoe-shaped canyon reaches depths of 100 meters and spans 400 meters across, forming a natural geological structure visible from aerial perspectives.
