What To Expect
Sainte-Enimie
We leave Mende to reach the Causse de Sauveterre. We will pass through Sainte Enimie, a medieval village among the most beautiful villages in France, before joining the Causse Méjean, after crossing the Tarn.
A dizzying descent from the Causse Méjean towards the Gorges du Tarn brings us to the small village of La Malène, where we will embark on a one-hour boat ride with a boatman. You will learn everything about the Tarn and its inhabitants, passing through some of the most beautiful places in the gorges. Your driver-guide will pick you up on arrival, so you don't have to return to La Malène.

5.00There is free and large enough parking near the departure of the boats. The Tarn Gorge by boat is a beautiful experience. A nice walk at the bottom of the gorge that allows you to see fauna and flora and especially the height on either side of the river. The provider offers various rental equipment. The descent is done by boat and back up by minibus. To do.
Walk in Lozère.
