Trou de Bozouls, Natural canyon in Bozouls, France.

The Trou de Bozouls is a horseshoe-shaped meander gorge carved by the Dourdou River into the Lias limestone of the Causse Comtal. It measures about 400 m in diameter and nearly 100 m deep, with pale beige and grey rock walls layered horizontally and a flat plateau rim. A stepped path descends in switchbacks on the inner slope to a small dark opening at the cliff base.

In the 9th century, the counts of Rodez built a castle on the rocky promontory, using the natural defensive walls of the canyon. This medieval settlement shaped the region for centuries to follow.

The old village in the centre of the meander is still called "le château", after the castle of the counts of Rodez that stood there. Its Romanesque church, Sainte-Fauste, dates from the 12th century. Since 2010 the Comité des Jeunes de Bozouls has held the Festa del Traouc, a contemporary music festival on the plateau above the gorge.

Several viewing platforms along Rue du Trou offer different perspectives of the canyon and let you explore all sides of this place. Wooden footbridges cross the river year-round and make access straightforward and safe.

The canyon was once listed among the seven wonders of Rouergue, and in 2020 it received the Traveller's Choice award. The commune also earned two flowers in the Villes et villages fleuris label in 2018.
