How to come to the Camargue without discovering it on horseback? This land where the horse is king, this land that vibrates under the hooves of its beautiful white horses who invite the dream? It's impossible to miss this exit! Come to the Dunes stable, take a horse ride of one hour, two hours or half a day… You can also take a seat on the premises, take horse riding lessons or take a course. The Camargue on horseback: this is the necessary exit!

An artificial lake of 136 hectares and more than 35 m ³, it will delight fishing enthusiasts, relax and wild escapades. A bathing area was built on an artificial beach, with bar-restaurant corner. The lake can be reached on foot, for a day or a relaxing weekend in the Lozériennes Cevennes.

At the foot of Mount Lozere, the bondons describe especially the Puechs and the Eschino d'Aze. Two limestone nipples were naturally and strangely drawn above the Tarn valley. Composed of marnes and limestone sediments, these two domes that resemble two heaps heaps, Les d'Allègre and Puech de Mariette are astonishing by their suddenness in the landscape. The legendary anecdote says Gargantua, curant his hooves, let the soil down the detritus they contained, and they came to form the Aze d and his two puechs.

A symbol of the tourist attraction of the Lozere, and by extension, the Causses, the gorges of the Tarn are unavoidable in this region. This spectacular site preserved and frequented since the second half of the th century is a fabulous natural site formed by alpine and pyrenean beardmore and limestone decay. Typical villages cross the river Tarn from Ispagnac: Quézac, Montbrun, Castelbouc, La Malène, Les Vignes, Le Rose, Sainte-Enimie, which is a feudal village. In the summer, there was a river on the bottom of the gorge to admire the high cliffs and rocky balls in canoe. Excavations are so deep and narrow, that in some places the cliffs tighten up and rise up to 500 m. 

On the foothills of the south slope between Florac and Saint-Jean-du-Gard, the Cévennes corniche is a route of the peaks which allows you to enjoy a breathtaking view of the heights while travelling by car. Friable soil carving gives a high-mountain impression, but with the special colours of the Mediterranean Cevennes. To do but caution, the roads are narrow.

The entrance of the aven lies in a vineyard, east of the village of Leucate. Like his neighbour, the Fées cave, he contains a trap at the end of 1960 by the underwater research and research group. According to the findings identified by the Speleological committee of the Aude, the cavity leads to the trap, 20 metres under the entrance.
