Vallée du Tarn

 

Grand Causses


Tropical intermezzo.
What do you mean, dry summers?
 
Winter announces itself on the road to Montjaux.

Above Clapade, north-east farm,
in front of the Causse Noir.
 
Close to the hamlet of des Airs; the dry summer grass.

Close to Blaquière.
A yellow colored piece of land.
 
These cliffs hang over Montméjean, valley of the Dourbie.

He will be home in time or sow little stones!
 
Close to Blaquière,
Also the less fertile soil will be cultivated.

La Jasse, located at
Millau along the RN 9, tells the story of the protest against the enlargement scheme of the army base of Larzac and exhibits local products and crafts. Opened during the summer.
 
Typical scenery of the Causses:
dry grasses, rockery assembling ruins and thicket.

Landscape of the Larzac bathing in the evening sun.
 
Larzac under an 'Irish' sky line.

The shadow of the sheppard
close to the time for a  Pastis!
 
Stock can quench their thurst at the drinking pools.
Most of them are made.
Some of them are natural on layers of clay.

Tourist trail; making up names for these monstruous rocks.
 
A flock of Lacaunes brought together.

In fact one never can get lost on the Larzac.
 
At the foot of the Cévennes,
these sheep return to their stables.

The landscape is intersected by many brick walls.
 

Close to Blaquière.

Beautiful walking trails through the rocks.
 
Rockery at Rajol.
Marvelous rocks to watch and to climb.

A lamb drinking at his mother.
 
The flock seems to move like waves on the surface of a liquid.
