The Causse Méjean is a vast limestone plateau located in the heart of the Lozère region, forming one of the Grands Causses, a UNESCO World Heritage Site recognized for its agro-pastoral landscape. The landscape is spectacular, composed of vast, flat, rocky expanses dotted with limestone pavements and sinkholes, typical of karst topography. The flora is adapted to the dry, shallow soils, dominated by dry grasslands where orchids and other rare species thrive. The history of the Méjean is one of a thousand-year-old sheep-farming tradition, with livestock farming as the central activity shaping these expanses for centuries. This activity has fostered the return of iconic wildlife: the Causse is world-renowned for the successful reintroduction of griffon vultures that soar above these vast, untamed spaces.
