MOSTUEJOULS - LIAUCOUS

18 km from Millau
Altitude: 460m
Population: 249

Two traditional villages situated under the spectacular cliffs of the Causse de Sauveterre. In Mostuéjouls, the magnificent castle and stone alleyways are worthy of note. In Liaucous, don't miss the superb Romanesque church, and, on the banks of the Tarn, Notre-Dame des Champs chapel. Lovely walks will take you from Liaucous to the troglodyte villages of Eglazines and St Marcellin. Higher up on the limestone plateau, why not refresh yourself at the Fontaine des Paillasses, a real oasis in the middle of the causse. You might even be lucky enough to see a couple of deer or a herd of moufflon, and you're almost sure to see the lord of the skies, the griffon vulture.
