From Linas to Luzençon
From the banks of the Cernon to the hilltop at Luzençon, an idyllic walk crowned by an exceptional 360° view of the Millau Viaduct, the village of Saint-Georges, the Larzac and the Lévézou mountains
Luzençon, built on a hilltop opposite the village of Saint-Georges, is – with its12th-century castle chapel and magnificent panorama – the highlight of this refreshing, countryside walk. The walk passes through two other hamlets, Linas and Crayssaguet, and reveals all the charm of the Cernon Valley, a left-bank tributary of the Tarn
The great outdoors
Accompanied by the sound of water flowing from the Novis fountain, this gentle climb to La Devèze offers a 360° panorama of the Grands Causses, the blue line of the Cévennes and the Languedoc mountains
The drinking troughs of Novis, a village of character, and the vaulted fountain of Argeliès, where water flows as it did in the days of the washerwomen, are the two focal points of this family outing on the Causse de Sauveterre. On the crest of the Devèze de Novis, an orientation table guides you through the breathtaking parade of landscapes stretching as far as the eye can see
Larzac Oppidum
The Oppidum de la Granède, an archaeological site nestled on the northern slope of the Larzac, is the birthplace of Millau. The path leading to it offers a splendid view of the town, the Causses and gorges, and the Viaduct
The path to the Granède oppidum is like a journey back in time. At this archaeological site, Gallo-Roman and early Christian remains, as well as three lines of walls (dating from the Bronze Age to the Late Roman Empire), have been unearthed. The route follows the northern edge of the Larzac, offering exceptional panoramic views over the Millau basin
