At the very heart of the Gorges, you can see remarkable wildlife (several species of vultures in the air, beavers swimming in the Tarn, etc.) and unusual flora in the heart of unspoiled nature.
Embark as a couple or with friends to experience an exceptional, unforgettable moment, both entertaining and enjoyable. You will escape at your own pace without time constraints on the Tarn.
All the magic of the Gorges du Tarn takes place all day long. We advise you to leave early in the morning from the Moulin de la Malène to take advantage of the best lighting in the Canyon. You might be lucky enough to spot a beaver… Your walk begins and you head towards the Pont de la Malène. We advise you to go under the left arch to row in a few small “ratches” (rapids if you can say that). In this context, the principle is to always row and not let yourself be carried. Most of the time, you navigate on calm and clear water, sometimes deep, ideal for taking a few small dips. In this exceptional site, pretty wild beaches await you to make a picnic stop while enjoying this magnificent landscape.
You cross the narrowest part of the Gorges du Tarn, the "Défilé des Détroits". You travel for more than 500 meters
between impressive rock walls. At the exit of the Détroits, you pass in front of the small hamlet of La Croze (do not stop because it is private property). It is only accessible by the river, you can photograph it during your return by shuttle, the driver makes a short stop. At the Rocher du Champignon (Snoopy for children) we indicate that you should go right. You arrive at the Cirque des Baumes. This is where your journey ends. A sign indicates the stop. So don't wait any longer and come and escape to an exceptional setting along the water!
