Causse Comtal, Protected limestone plateau in Aveyron, France
The Causse Comtal stretches across a triangular area between Rodez, Bozouls, and Marcillac-Vallon, reaching elevations between 328 and 690 meters above sea level.
The plateau received its name from the counts of Rodez who established extensive wheat cultivation systems, making it an important regional granary.
The area maintains 57 butterfly species and 76 bird species, including the Eurasian Hoopoe, which nests throughout the natural grasslands.
Visitors can access the plateau by following the road from Rodez toward Espalion, with multiple entry points leading into the open landscape.
The Causse Comtal contains 125 plant species, including 15 orchid varieties and the Senecio ruthenensis, which grows exclusively in this region.
