Millau, Gorges du Tarn. Luxury Cycling Tour.

This 5 to 8 days luxury cycling tour is a moderate cycling tour. A light tour is available too. But if you keep cycling down in the canyons and valleys the trip is a light one. When biking up the plateau the tour becomes a moderate or even challenging tour with daily distances of 60 to 90 kmand with 1 to 4 climbs of 400 m per day (rise increase of 7-9 degree, 400m. altitude difference, climbs of 4 - 7 km long).

Gorges de la Jonte

The scenery in the Gorges is rather spectacular.

This tour starts and ends in Creissels at 2km from Millau.

From Millau Eastwards the Tarn river and its tributaries carved out 4 canyon like Gorges: Gorges de la Dourbie, Gorges de la Jonte, Gorges du Trèvezel and the most famous of all the Gorges du Tarn.
These Gorges are at the heart of the most spectacular walking and cycling area of the Grands Causses Natural Parc. Steep crags of 400m and the typical scenery of limestone plateaux dissected by rivers.
You can visit the Grotte Rose of Dargilan, the unusual scenery of the Causses (Le Chaos de Montpellier le Vieux and Roques Altes).
A region with an extraordinary diversity of landscapes, that you will get to know when hiking and cycling through this far South part of the Massif Central: mountains, limestone plateaus (Causses), lush green valleys, roaring rivers (Tarn, Jonte, Dourbie, Lot, Aveyron, Dourdou).
Lots of nice, small villages. The French cuisine, honest food in small family runned hotels and you will get a warm welcome.

La Ligne Verte has settled in a small village in the Valley of the Tarn, at 60 km from Millau and halfway Millau and Albi in  the Parc Régional Naturel des Grands Causses of South-Aveyron.

Chateau de la Caze in the Gorges du Tarn/p>

Aveyron is a rich source of (ancient) culture: the district of Templars, medieval cloisters and places of pilgrimage. And modern art : the Musée Soulages in Rodez.

Apart from the cyclists and hikers, (fly-)fishing, above all a region for you if you seek a rather unspoiled nature, quiet and the views of mountains, valleys and karstic plateaus, called Causses.
