Today you leave the surroundings of the river Tarn and go to the
east, to Meyrueis at the Westside of the Cevennes. The short variant
passes by Le Rozier/ Peyreleau, and then trough the Gorges of the
Jonte. If you’re lucky, you can admire the vultures, circling high
above your head. In Le Truel it is worth the trouble to stop at
the Belvedère des Vautours. This is a sort of museum/information
centre about the re-introduction of the vultures in the Gorges.

built on a rock and arrive in the lively village of Nant for the
night stay.
