It’s an exceptional place.
Magnificent, grandiose, I can't find enough superlatives...
You have to see the panorama when arriving via Blandas or via Baume Auriol.
Above all, don't hesitate to take the small winding road which goes down to Navacelles and admire the torrent formed by the Vis.

After the beautiful viewpoint but very windy, we drove down to the bottom of the circus. The road is narrow and the
Going to 2 is sometimes difficult but in September there is no shuttle!
Not too much traffic. Free parking in the village.
Below we walked the 10 km of the mill promenade starting from the left side of the river , as arrow. Good shoes are necessary because there are big pebbles on the way. Very nice walk of medium difficulty (3h30). And on the way back we ate a very good pancake at mas Guilhou.

Beautiful place, we drove up to the viewpoint of Mont Auriol which offered a beautiful viewpoint. To go down to the hamlet, a 45min hike indicated “the postman’s path” - quite slippery despite the good weather... we did not do everything and went up to the top, it was very good too! I advise you to visit the website for more information.

This summer we went to the Circus of Navacelles , more precisely to the Belvedere of Blandas. The access road is winding and not very wide. If you drive carefully, there will be no problem. However, be careful if you have people among your passengers who are afraid of the "empty".
Arriving at the site of Blandas, three lookouts allow you to overlook the Grand Site de France of the Circus of Navacelles. These viewpoints (of the Doline, the Oaks and the Cascade) will allow you to admire this magnificent natural site. The Blandas gazebo is accessible to people with reduced mobility from the PMR car park. The building has a catering service, and a tourist office. We were very well received and very knowledgeable. A big thank you to the hostess.

A bit out of the way in spectacular scenery but not overcrowded. Crystal clear (quite fresh) water and plenty of opportunity to jump off rocks. Restaurant, parking, reasonable toilet on site. Absolutely recommended.

An absolute must if you are in the Herault and have a day to explore this wonderful natural site. It offers the possibility to take a stroll with shady places to rest in between find the dozens of superb views which offer a paradise for photographers. For those who enjoy a long walk the trails are superb.

This is a site seeing must if you are in the area. We drove to the Baume Auriol where there is an Information Centre and the best viewing point to look down on to the Cirque de Navacelles. We then booked a seat at the restaurant which overlooked the landscape, an excellent vantage point.

The view is what could be described as the local answer to the Grand Canyon, really stunning. Then grab your 1 euro walking map from the info centre and off you go, descending down the canyon to trace the river towards the Moulins de la Foux, a waterfall where the river comes out of the mountain cave. The walk was about 10 Kms, but beware although beautiful the trek up and down the hill from the information centre is hard and somewhat of a scramble. You will need water in the Summer. It took us about 4 hours including paddling stops in the river. Well worth half a day, I would recommend that you may wish to drive down into the gorge before walking to the waterfall if you have young children or are wearing flip flops which are not recommended.

Although some sites suggest Not driving down, please do the views of the cirque are simply amazing. Remember to take your swimming gear with you as you will want to join in at the waterfall, especially if you have children with you, of any age. The river is slow and shallow and great for younger kids whilst jumping at the falls will excite everyone else. Take some decent shoes and also have a walk around, the actual canyon goes on for miles. My Tip, if you drive down, then take the other road on the way out, you will not be disappointed.

A wonderful natural geographic formation, caused by the Vis River which still flows through the gorge. The view from the top where there is a visitor centre and exhibition which describes the ox bow formation is interesting though only in French. There is a brief film also and a decent restaurant and craft shop. The road down to Navacelles a very small little hamlet at the bottom of the gorge is not difficult as long as you proceed cautiously and are happy to drive around hairpin bends (switchbacks). However whilst driving down and coming up again we noticed several campervans and cars towing caravans (trailers) in difficulty so please consider carefully if it is wise for you to attempt the decent if driving one of these vehicles. The little hamlet has a river bathing spot with clean water information and on a hot day was popular with children and adults. There are however steep drops and waterfalls and care/supervision of youngsters is needed. The water was beautifully clean. The village has wonderful views of the surrounding mountains and the visitor centre can be seen at the top. It is a relaxing, scenic and educational experience for the whole family.

Has to be seen to be believed. Well worth the journey down the twisting road. The views both coming in and going out are spectacular. If you can try a circular route so you don't go out the same way you came in.
