The cirque of Navacelles is an exceptional natural heritage. Giant funnel dug by the river Vis in the mesa of Blandas. The location of the village collected 300 meters and its pit, abandoned meander, help make this extraordinary site. Since July 2013, the viewpoints of the Oaks, the Sinkhole and Cascade, on the Causse de Blandas, offer visitors a grand supervision upon the geomorphology of Navacelles and establish a respectful dialogue between Man and Earth. A building includes a restaurant, a shop-local, bar, info point with a space scénovision loop projecting a 10-minute film chronicling the natural heritage of the mesa. Two car parks. Site accessible to four forms of disability. A network of hiking trails urges visitors to discover step by step sculptural landscapes: the gorges of the Vis, the geological wonder of Navacelles, the dry stone walls ...

Le Mont Aigoual est un sommet situé dans le sud du Massif Central, sur la limite entre le Gard et la Lozère. Il culmine à 1 565 mètres d'altitude. Cela en fait le point culminant du Gard et le second de la Lozère ainsi que des Cévennes, après le Mont Lozère (1 699 mètres).Bastion sud-est du Massif Central, le Mont Aigoual est remarquable par son panorama, son climat et son observatoire météorologique. C'est sur ce mont qu'a été entreprise au XIXème siècle la première grande opération de reforestation anti-érosive en France (constitution d'une forêt de protection sur les sols érodés par la déforestation et le pâturage).Haut lieu de l'histoire des camisards et maquisards, le Mont Aigoual a inspiré de nombreux écrivains cévenols tels André CHAMSON, Jean-Pierre CHABROL ou Jean CARRIERE.
