Sébazac
Site of Tindoul de la Vayssière, a pothole in the middle of the Causse, 67 m deep with a subterrnean river.


Geologicl site of the "Trou de Bozouls" or the Gourg d'Enfer
Considering the natural circle 400 m in diameter and more than 100 m deep, carved by erosion, one might suppose that the Dourdou has not always been the modest trickle that it is today. This encircled meander is known locally as the "Trou de Bozouls" and its structure greatly aids us in understanding the local geomorphology. The process of gradual erosion by running water is a passionate subject which explains, the origins of the shapes of our landscape today and their particularities.

Roquesaltes
Rocks in bizarre forms, in the Dourbie valley.

Roquelaure - Lassouts
Volcanic lava flow.
