From Le Rozier, where the Tarn receives the Jonte, the road climbs towards Meyrueis through a narrower, wilder canyon, with walls where vultures nest. The Maison des Vautours, above the canyon, explains their reintroduction. Beneath the Causse Méjean, nearby, there are large chasms you can visit, such as the Aven Armand.
