Loop around Truyere Gorges (Cantal, Lozere)

The Truyère gorges create a spectacular landscape, deeply incised into the Aubrac plateau and the Cantal mountains, straddling the Lozère and Cantal departments. The landscape is characterized by a rugged relief carved from granite and basalt, with sheer walls now dominated by vast reservoirs. The modern history of these gorges is inextricably linked to the 20th-century construction of impressive hydroelectric dams. The flora is that of a dense, humid forest, composed of deciduous and coniferous trees clinging to the steep slopes. The fauna is rich, particularly along the river and lakes, where fish and birds of prey such as the red kite soar above this wild, industrial, and unspoiled territory.
