Places on the river

Attractions

It is a scenic wild river of the Cevennes, which partly flows through deep, wild and romantic gorges. In dry summers, hardly any water flows through the river bed.

Flora and fauna

The banks are characterized by alders, willows and evergreen shrubs. There are hardly any aquatic plants in the clear, mostly fast-flowing water. The beaver has recaptured an ideal habitat in the karst caves on the bank. The gray heron is a striking waterfowl . The griffon vulture roams the valley in search of food.
