Discover the Gorges of the Tarn: A Cycling Adventure in the Heart of the Grands Causses
This unforgettable tour starts and ends in Millau, your gateway to one of France’s most breathtaking natural wonders. Just east of Millau, the Tarn River and its tributaries have carved four spectacular canyons: the Gorges de la Dourbie, Gorges de la Jonte, Gorges du Trèvezel, and the legendary Gorges du Tarn. These dramatic landscapes lie at the heart of the Grands Causses Natural Park, where steep 400-meter cliffs and limestone plateaus create a scenery unlike any other.
Highlights of Your Journey:

Marvel at the Grotte Rose of Dargilan, a stunning pink cave, and explore the surreal rock formations of Chaos de Montpellier le Vieux and Roques Altes.
Experience the true essence of the Midi—where the South of France begins. Here, rugged mountains, lush valleys, and roaring rivers (Tarn, Jonte, Dourbie, Lot, Aveyron, and Dourdou) paint a picture of untouched beauty.
Pedal through charming villages, where time seems to stand still, and enjoy the warmth of family-run hotels serving authentic French cuisine. No fast food here—just honest, hearty meals and a genuine welcome.
