The Gorges du Tarn is a gorge located in the Cevennes region, not far from the Cevennes National Park in the departments of Lozère and Aveyron in southern France.
The name "Gorges du Tarn" refers to the gorge, through which the River Tarn flows. This approximately 500 meters deep incised gorge is situated between two large dry limestone plateaus or Causses, namely the Causse Méjean in the southeast and the Causse de Sauveterre in the northwest.
The gorge begins at Le Rozier in the southwest and extends for over 50 km as far as Ispagnac. Because the road through the Gorges du Tarn runs both halfway up and down the gorge (and not, as in many other gorges, at the top), the traveler gets the feeling of entering the interior of a stone world, as if one were "swallowed" by the mountain range, Constantly one is confronted with all kinds of steep cliffs and other stone masses.
