Events calendar Causses et Cévennes

Located in the great site of the Gorges du Tarn and Jonte, in the heart of the National park of Cevennes and at the foot of Mount Aigoual, the village of Nicely enjoys an exceptional location for outdoor sports enthusiasts. Hiking, canyoning, climbing, via ferrata or mountain biking; the municipality has something to seduce a broad public! But before embarking on these activities, we invite you through this walk to discover the heritage of the village. Take the Rue du Temple, cross the St. Peter Square, take a hike on Saint-Blaise street, mark the stop in front of the monument to the dead, visit Notre-Dame-du-Rocher Chapel and cross the porch of the Priory: within 3 kilometres of walking, the municipality will have no secrets for you… or almost!

The Association Sur le chemin de R.-L. Stevenson continues to walk this route to highlight the interest of the journey of the Scottish writer. Since 1994, the actors of tourism have come together and pooled their ideas and actions in order to better guide and welcome all those who visit the Cevennes following this route. In this spirit, was created, in spring, this event intended to allow the curious to look, during twenty days, the Cevennes of another eye: exhibitions, accompanied hikes, spectacles with interventions of Scottish and Cevennes artists, readings, visits with topic. Thus each year, the event takes place in a different sector of the area crossed by the famous author. 2018 will be a special year as it marks the 140th anniversary of his journey and the Association Sur le chemin de R.-L Stevenson is organizing a series of events throughout the year (See details in "Invitation to the journey").
