General presentation
Larzac et Millau
Causses, viaduct, templar villages, gorges and large dry landscapes.
Viaduc de Millau, Villages templiers and Gorges give the most telling landmarks of Larzac and Millau. Together, they form a destination where the countryside, natural spaces, heritage and riverscapes meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.

For a stay of 3 to 6 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: heat and wind possible. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. However, some sites require more walking, elevation or preparation.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Bridge
Viaduc de Millau
The Millau viaduct crosses the Tarn valley with such a thin line that it seems suspended between the causses. From the viewpoints, the contrast between the slender piles, the high road and the dry reliefs of Larzac around Millau is better measured.
Natural site
Causse du Larzac
The Larzac causse explores at the pace, between large plateaus, small undulations and open paths. This territory values distant views and discreet variations of terrain. A quiet progression allows you to understand the ladders more than just a glance from the road.
Village
La Couvertoirade
La Couvertoirade is characterized by its narrow streets, clear walls and its relief of perched village. The historical continuity is perceived from the first loop, then a thinner layer appears as it exits towards the edges of the causse. A visit at the end of the morning balance calm and light.
Village
Sainte-Eulalie-de-Cernon
Sainte-Eulalie-de-Cernon offers a progression between village hearts, built areas and more rural views. The place reveals its logic when you alternate center and nearby slopes. Pedestrian rhythm is the key to bringing out its material details and the relationship with causse.
