Incursion sur le Méjean

Embed this item to access it offline

A regular but quite long climb brings you onto the Causse Méjean plateau, where you will find a landscape not unlike Mongolia !

It’s uphill to the Col de Perjuret pass – and then another burst of effort to get onto the Causse plateau. From there on, the landscape is all cultivated large open spaces, where the harshness of the land makes itself felt. Look around: on the right, the Nîmes-le-Vieux block field; on the left, the Aigoual massif; and below, the Jonte gorge!

  1. At the Col de Perjuret, turn left onto the D18 towards Aures/Galy. Pass La Citerne and Costeguison.
