On June 28, 2011, UNESCO added the scenic Causses and Cévennes territory in the South of France’s Mediterranean backcountry to its renowned World Heritage List. Spanning over 300,000 hectares, these areas consist of an exceptional natural setting containing a variety of landscapes ranging from mountains to deep valleys. The Causses contains limestone plateaus separated by gorges and valleys, while the Cévennes boasts schist metamorphic rocks and the granite summits of Mont Lozère and Mont Aigoual.
