Gorges de la Nesque
Gorges de la Nesque - a canyon and a road along the edge of a cliff
A magnificent canyon, a former stagecoach track on the edge of a cliff with a dizzily high sheer drop below to take your breath away, tunnels, stone arches, the dried up river bed which can be vaguely glimpsed beneath lush vegetation… Welcome to the Gorges de la Nesque, a landscape shaped by time.
A great place for sporting enthusiasts with a 66km trail which follows the curves of the Gorges from Villes sur Auzon to Monieux then comes back onto the Plain via Méthamis.
On the Route des Gorges de la Nesque
Leave Villes sur Auzon and head for the lavender fields along the picturesque Route des Gorges de la Nesque, through magical scenery shaped over thousands of years by the underground river which is only visible in times of heavy rain.
