Tips from the Community
As a local and a cyclist, I can confirm that the scenery is magnificent and the small roads are ideal for cycling, provided you avoid the peak period from July 15th to August 15th. However, I regret that you only mention the village of Le Rozier in the route descriptions, while the photos are mostly of Peyreleau, a superb, unspoiled village, away from the traffic of the gorges, which it faces on the other side of the Jonte River! Note: Le Rozier is in Lozère, while Peyreleau is in Aveyron.

The small Vulture House is located just beyond Le Rozier, at the Jonte Gorge. It features a roof terrace, which can only be accessed via the exhibition and admission. However, the vultures can also be seen from the road.
