The high limestone plateaus and wooded slopes of upper Languedoc are a world away from the coast. From the Montagne Noire, a mountainous region between Béziers and Castres, up into the Cévennes is a landscape of remote sheep farms, eroded rock formations, and deep river gorges. Much of this area has been designated the Parc Régional du Haut Languedoc, the 2nd largest of the French national parks after Ecrins. We simply called it breathtaking!
At the Cirque de Navacelles, the River Vis has joined up with itself, carving out an entire island. On it sits the peaceful village of Navacelles, visible from the road higher up.
