Passing in front of the Golf des Gorges du Tarn on the town of La Canourgue, you will discover immediately the landscapes of the Causse which will allow you to descend in the direction of La Malène.
The Village of La Malène is a small village typical of the gorges where you are invited to make a small stop to enjoy these few alleys as well as its breathtaking view of the Tarn!
Cross the bridge on foot first to see this village from the other bank of the Tarn.
Then head towards Aven Armand, cross the bridge again, but this time by car, in the coast there is the possibility to make a small stop to the virgin to enjoy an even more breathtaking view (be careful not to clutter up the traffic.

A story that continues to be written
The story begins in 1640 with the first part of the construction of the farm (first kitchen, first bedroom, first «agricultural building»). Two enlargements were added in the 18th and 19th century, thus drawing the farmhouse as we know it today. In 1946, Irma Julié, Mary’s grandmother, died. The Farm was no longer inhabited.
In 1973, Marie and Armand PRATLONG chose to make the greatest number to discover the caussenard heritage through the old farm of the Marie family. La Ferme Caussenarde d’Autrefois was born. Their children and grandchildren continue to make live this patrimony and these traditions today universally recognized by the inscription of the Causses and the Cévennes to the World Heritage of the UNESCO.
Return by the sublime point!
Located at 870 m of altitude, the classified site of the «Point Sublime» is one of the places in the gorges of the Tarn where the view is to cut the soufle. Located on the Causse de Sauveterre, the Point-Sublime is a viewpoint that offers visitors the spectacle of these wonderful ochre cliffs diving into the emerald waters of the Tarn.
At the foot, more than four hundred meters below, the Tarn makes a right-angle turn and this ‘whim’ allows the visitor to take the gorges in a row, and towards the east, and towards the south.
Opposite, the steep cornices of Causse Méjean give the final touch to the character of the place and complete this magnificent painting worthy of the greatest artists.
