Camping Le Pont

Camping Le Pont is in the Gorges du Tarn, a lush green canyon by the Tarn river running from Le Rozier north of Millau to Quézac. Kayaking, canoeing, paragliding, climbing and fishing are all popular here, in the surrounding Grands Causses Regional Natural Park and further east in the Cévennes National Park. About 35 kilometres by car, via Aguessac, is the vast viaduct of Millau, the tallest bridge in all the world at 343 metres at its highest point (between the heights of the Empire State Building and the Eiffel Tower). The best way to see the bridge if you want to snap a pic (as you won't be able to stop on it, obvs) is to park in Millau town then take the bus from the tourist office, or hike the (many) steps to the viewing point on the bridge's north. From Millau, wind up the narrow road out of town and up to the Chaos de Montpellier-le-Vieux, a spectacular rock formation above the Gorges du la Dourbie. There are five trails to follow around these limestone outcrops, or a tourist train that will take you to the main viewing points. Also near Millau is Roquefort, home of the fab and famed cave-aged sheep milk cheese: souvenirs aplenty must be picked up if you're anywhere around these parts.
