Navacelles Switchbacks

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Magnificent road with numerous bends above the Navacelles cirque. A real treat out of season because there is very little traffic.

The Navacelles cirque is a treasure of French heritage. Nestled in the heart of the Vis gorges, which cut into the Blandas and Larzac causses, this green meander is a breathtaking natural site, with a depth of 300 meters. The sumptuous panorama of this natural curiosity and the alignment of the Vis gorges is breathtaking.

Viewpoint over the Vis valley

The Vis Gorges combine spectacular cliffs, whitewater, and lush vegetation from the valley floor to the plateau. They are particularly well-known for being home to the Navacelles cirque.

Vissec

Highlight • Summit

This village is unique in that it lies between three causses: Larzac, Campestre, and Blandas. It is also located upstream from the Navacelles cirque and along the banks of the Vis River.

If you're a fan of the famous Roquefort cheese, you should know that its milk comes partly from the milk of local sheep produced in the La Baute sheepfold.

Cirque of Navacelles

As you cycle through the beautiful Cévennes National Park, you’ll discover the impressive Cirque de Navacelles. This natural amphitheatre, carved out by the winding River Vis, is a breathtaking sight. As you cycle along the rim of the cirque, you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of the deep canyon, lush forests and the charming village of Navacelles nestled below.

The Cirque de Navacelles - another highlight of France, and this time a WHOLE big one! The area is one of the Grandes Sites de France and is of course also a World Heritage Site, which UNESCO cannot deny.

After my tour through the Vercors a few days ago, I joked with a good friend on the phone: "That's it …
