To reach the territory of the Grand Site du Cirque de Navacelles, we suggest a few discovery trails : between the gorges of the Hérault, the gorges of the Arre and the gorges of the Vis and the vast stretches of the three Causses of the Larzac, of Blandas and of Campestre-et-le-Luc. Through these different itineraries, you can discover the cultural heritage of agropastoralism, its landscapes, the exceptional biodiversity (wildlife and plants), the megaliths (dolmens, cromlechs, menhirs…).
In a Camper van
Welcome camper van enthusiasts.
We remind you that camping in caravans is forbidden in the Vis gorges and the Cirque de Navacelles, and that it is not advised to go down into the gorges from the belvederes in a camper van. Equipped parking places for camper-vans are offered in the communes of the site (see the plan underneath).
Crossing the Cirque de Navacelles is not recommended for camper vans, because the roads are very steep. However, during the summer you can get down to the hamlet of Navacelles or visit the Foux mills in a shuttle bus that leaves from the Blandas belvederes.
