More
pictures, description and general tourist information about
Tarn Valley.
Between Albi, the
pink city - with its beautiful old brick-built centre, the Toulouse-Lautrec
museum and its Cathedral - and
Millau, in the center of Parc des Grands Causses,
you will be walking alongside the Tarn river in a steep sided
valley. Down in the valley between two hilly plateaux
which rise up to 700m height, you'll get the feeling of being
up in the mountains. The river flows swiftly to the West through
the valley, also called "La Vallée de l'Amitiée", a very friendly
place in which to stay and hike. There are old castles like
Brousse-le-Chateau, Coupiac, St.Izaire and pitoresque
villages like Ambialet, St. Rome-de-Tarn and Le Minier. For
centuries life and local trade has centered around these
places.
From Millau, a pleasant small Mediterranean alike city, also
the gateway to the better known canyons of the Gorges du Tarn
and a centre for activity holidays, you'll start the Tarn Valley
walk under the viaduct from where you will be heading further
downstream. From the second half of june the chirring sound
of cicades will go all along with you as if in Provence.

PARC NATUREL REGIONAL
DES GRANDS CAUSSES
Home base of La Ligne Verte.
If you want the charms of France and
avoid touristy bustle this region will assure you'll get it; it
has been designated a national parc and its riches are protected.
Here you'll find breathing space for taking your time far away from
hustle and bustle of modern day living while savouring the French
cuisine and way of life. Aveyron and Tarn give you a traditional
welcome, amid beautiful scenery, dramatic landscapes and picturesque
villages. A land of stone, a land of water: gorges, valleys, lakes,
rivers all bathed in sunlight under a radiant blue sky: the land
would seem to have been created for out-door pursuits and relaxation.
Close to Millau,
in center of Parc des Grands Causses, worlds highest (343m) viaduct
now connects the Lévézou plateau and the Causse du Larzac, as part
of highway A71 from Clermont Ferrand to Montpellier.
