Dominating the city of Millau, the Oppidum of la Granède extends on a promontory advance on the aspect North side of the Causse du Larzac.  Fortified and strategic area implanted on the hights at the limit between cauuse and valley, permitted to keep a close watch towards the South on the roads coming from the causse and the trafics and exchanges between the south and the north. The city of Millau contributes with the department at the archeological construction of the Oppidum of la Granède that updated the remains of a christian church and antiques substructures.

The Cauuse Noir (Limestone Plateau) established with shaded forests - in which its name - and big spaces, possess many spectacular landscapes, among which, the Chaos of Montpellier-le-vieux and the cave of Dargilan. The Lévézou is known for its lakes and the city of insects Micropolis at Saint Léons. The Viaduct of Millau, inaugurated in 2004, has the world record for hight with a pylone over the valley of 343 meters. Over the water, the descent by canoe on the Dourbie valley is the ideal way to submerge in a wild and authentic landscape.

Typical of the romanic architecture, this castrale chapel was built between the 11th and 12th centuries. It was then opened to all, for weddings or burrials. The chevet, facing the East is a symbol of the resurrection of Christ. The chapel is usually closed, but you may ask for the key at the city hall in Saint-Georges de Luzençon (tel 05 65 58 41 00). 

Built between the 12th and 16th centuries, the Château de Peyrelade constituted one of the most important fortresses in the Rouergue in the Middle Ages, thanks to the position of its natural rock-dungeon that enables it to control the Tarn valley. Today, guided visits enable you to discover the site's turbulent history, its very particular architecture as well as numerous restoration works and digs that have been undertaken in the last 25 years. The visit ends by climbing onto the rock that offers a superb panorama of this section of the valley and the Gorges du Tarn. Scenery walk with models, reconstituted drawings, animations and viewpoint indicators.

At the end of the 19th century, three priest (Abbot Lubac, abbot Cazes and abbot Pineau), undertook colossal project to set up a statue of the Virgin Mary on the Puech de Fontaneilles who can be seen by all the horizons, the Limestone plateau and Lévezou.The construction was not easy. About ten workers got down to it during two years.The villagers voluntarily participated to create an accessible path to transport the necessary materials for the construction of the site.The water of a source discovered at the beginning of the path was collected in barrels and was use for the preparation of mortar. The stone was extracted and cut on the spot.Once the Pedestal finished, it was only waiting on the Statue of the Virgin that was ordered in belgium and never came.Swinle, lies, embezzlement, nobody knows what really happened. 

The Sargels mound, which peaks at 761 m, is residual and was historically part of the Larzac plateau before the surrounding rivers dug their ways through the landscape. It provides a breathtaking view over the Lévézou mounts (snow-capped in winter) to the East, the Larzac foothills to the West and the Merdelou to the South.

At the entrance of the Gorges du Tarn, the wine cellars Entre-deux Monts is located above Fontaneilles.The old vaults out of thick flagstones on the slope of the peak of Suège, is a village which offers discoveries.Each family possessed their cellars to preserve and refine the wine. The door facing north side, twoo small vertical openings and the fleurines (a crack in the rock of natural cellars) as in Roquefort, guaranteed a fresh and constant temperature.In these ancient times where only vineyards and some herds enabled the survival of modest peasant economy, the village of cellars was also a place of friendliness wher the fontaneillois meet every sunday.

Guard of the Dourbie valley, it is stretched between the Causse du Larzac and the Causse Noir. Go up the cobblestone street and access an 11th century church and enjoy an exceptional panorama approaching the 13th century castle. On one side (Causse Noir side) the rocky chaos of Montpellier-le-vieux, on the other side (Larzac) the typical hamlet of Pierrefiche and montredon: 2 limestones plateau with landscapes and habitats built by shepherds and their herds. The Mill du Corp and its humpback bridge (from the 15th century) refines the landscape.

About 240 years, the Causses (limestone plateau*) were formed by the accumulation of marine sediments. The errection of the Pyrenees and the Alps provoked an uprising of the region and formed numerous cracks on the surface area. The streaming infiltrates there, sculping rocks by dissolution of limestone. The erosion is more or less active according to the resistance of rocks, that's why we observe ruiniform sculptures today.

It is one of the most important ruiniform chaos on the Causses (limestone plateau). It constitutes a natural donjon which overhangs,and on the other side of the ravine du Riou Sec, that of Montpellier-le-vieux. Rocks with fantastic shapes among which 4 towers of 40 meters high, in which one is called l'Arc du Triomphe!Some of these sites were once coronate of an amazing image, feeding the imagination of the population which avoided them.

I wish you to love what must be loved and to forget what that must be forgotten. I wish you passions, I wish you silences. I wish you birdsong when you wake up and the laughter of children. I wish you to respect the differences of others, because merit and the value of each are often to be discovered. I wish you to resist the stagnation, the indifference and the negative virtues of our time. Finally, I wish you never to give up research, adventure, life, to love, because life is a wonderful adventure and no reasonable person should give it up without fighting a tough battle. Above all, I wish you to be you, proud of it and happy, because happiness is our true destiny." Goodbye Muriel
