Itinerary
We leave Mende to reach the Causse de Sauveterre. We will pass through Sainte Enimie, a medieval village among the most beautiful villages in France, before joining the Causse Méjean, after crossing the Tarn.
A dizzying descent from the Causse Méjean towards the Gorges du Tarn brings us to the small village of La Malène, where we will embark on a one-hour boat ride with a boatman. You will learn everything about the Tarn and its inhabitants, passing through some of the most beautiful places in the gorges. Your driver-guide will pick you up on arrival, so you don't have to return to La Malène.
The sublime point allows a splendid view of the Baumes cirque, one of the most photogenic meanders of the Tarn gorges.
Sainte Enimie, located on the Tarn, is a remarkable medieval village with a thousand-year-old history linked to the source of the Burle. You will also have free time to stroll through the narrow streets of the village. It will take us around 30 minutes to return to Mende, with an expected arrival around 1 p.m.
