Things to see and do Gard

From the plateau of Poulx, between the school and the stadium, a slow descent in the direction of the Roach promises a smooth and spectacular walk, even though the stony path requires to be well downstairs to walk well. From the first point of departure, the landscape is breathtaking. The Gardon here widened the valley until it got harmonious gorges, less cliffs than those of Tarn or Verdon but with amazing geological particularities. It was here that Henri-Georges Clouzot turned a good part of his Fear of Fear and sent the truck of Yves Montand and Charles Vanel a few hundred metres lower (the carcasses in the precipices did not date from that time). On the edge of the river bed, two mills were recently restored by the joint management union. On the other side you can admire the grotto of La Baume and its hermitage, because the floods of 2002 destroyed the threshold that allowed the Gardon to cross the Gardon on foot or almost. For this other bank, it's Sanilhac that you will have to leave.

From the start of your hike in the Sea of the Rocks, you will come to the feet of this castle whose origin is uncertain but which we like here to imagine that Most or other powerful families lived there long ago. We imagine being a good society, lynched with the influential lords of Salvage (th century) that gave prosperity to the city. The history of saving is marked by that of Protestantism, the wars of religion and the revolt of camisards. Part of the wildhammers revolted took the maquis in the Massif massif and used as a watchtower that castle, following the fire of the castle of Roquevaire. There is no doubt that this place was a privileged site for monitoring a very broad sector. On the plateau of the Coutach massif, surrounded by green oaks and lauriers sauces, see rocks as carved in limestone eroded by water.
