http://www.tourisme-aveyron.com/visite_virtuelle/index_uk.htm

Millau is a friendly small town of 27.000 inhabitants with lots of sporting vacation opportunities.
Millau can be accessed by train/bus from Montpellier or Rodez.

The H23 is a spectacular walk through the Causses du Larzac and the Causse Noir, (a causse is a limestone plateau). You'll be walking through the magnificent canyon de la Dourbie.

Halfway you'll come back in Millau and be heading into the Tarn valley, walking under the Millau Viaduct.

Beautiful scenery, lovely footpaths and remote treasures will be your daily bread...

The route will lead you to access magical places. Here, every step takes you to a visible trace of human history like the centuries old stone-built houses, the lovely villages built during Middle Ages, the awesome monuments of cave-dwellers from prehistoric times.

The main part of the region is built upon a limestone plateau cut by deep valleys and - in May and June -  covered with orchids and with small white oaks.
The Grands Causses are a hiking region par excellence. This walk is designed for those who are willing to walk up to 23 kms and 7-8 hours a day.  

Find here a description of the area you'll be walking in. You will walk past and under the Millau viaduct.

 

 

Find here some pictures of the scenery of the Dourbie canyon and of Tarn valley.
