Gardon Gorges, Natural reserve with limestone gorges in Occitanie, France.
The Gardon Gorges extend over 491 hectares of land, featuring deep limestone canyons, dense forests, and Mediterranean vegetation north of Nîmes.
The limestone formations of the Gardon Gorges date back 115 million years, with the current canyon structure forming 6 million years ago during Mediterranean changes.
The Saint Vérédème hermitage and Saint Nicolas priory from 1156 stand as religious landmarks within the natural formations of the gorges.
Three marked hiking trails start from Russan village, allowing visitors to explore the gorges while observing local wildlife and geological formations.
The Gardon River maintains an average flow of 35 cubic meters per second, reaching peaks of 5000 during specific weather events called gardonnades.
