Cycling Tarn Valley, Between Albi and Millau
From Millau, a pleasant small Mediterranean alike city, also the gateway
to the better known canyons of the Gorges du Tarn and a centre for activity
holidays, you'll start the Tarn Valley walk under the worlds highest
viaduct from where you will be heading
further downstream. From the second half of june the chirring sound of cicades will go all along with you as if in Provence.

Dans le "Midi" du Sud-Aveyron Far away from all the hustle and bustle, at 700km South of Paris, the Tarn river flows from the Cevennes through the departments Lozère, Aveyron and Tarn and the Grands Causses area. Here le "Midi" (South of France) begins: A nice climate, : mountains, limestone plateaus (Causses), lush green valleys, roaring rivers (Tarn, Jonte, Dourbie, Lot, Aveyron, Dourdou). Lots of small villages here instead of large urban areas with dense population. No fast food here, but the French cuisine, honest food in small family-run hotels where you will get a warm welcome. |
La Ligne Verte has settled in a small village in the Valley of the Tarn,
60 km from Millau and Albi, called
Broquiès .
This part of the course of the Tarn is called the "Raspes" and is attractivefor
those who like quiet and unspoiled nature. It lies in the Parc Régional
des Grands Causses in South-Aveyron.
Aveyron is also a rich source of (ancient) culture: the district of Templars, medieval cloisters and places of pilgrimage. And... apart from the cyclists and hikers, a renowned district for bird-watching in the valleys and plateaus, called Causses. Albi is a nice start for accessing the Grands Causses nature park.
