The limestone upland (causse) can be seen rising up above Florac 
Idyllic setting for a fish farm, water eventually surfacing from the plateau above 
Part of the ‘chemin’ 
Have spent the last two nights on a lovely 2-star campsite in Bedoues-Cocures, a village a couple of kms or so outside of Florac in the Gorges du Tarn/Cevennes region. My pitch is almost on the river bank, in a landscape of beautiful forested steep gorges, clear water rivers, historic villages and striking upland limestone plateaus called ‘Les Causses’.
This area is also mountainous – Florac is at about 500m above sea level. The mountains Lozere and Aigoual are over 1500m.
My ride into Florac yesterday took me completely unexpectedly on a small part of the above. If the weather is going to hold, I may decide to attempt to take my bike – or rather with confidence that it will take me -up a gorge ascent road to the plateau above.
