View of the Ambialet peninsula

Highlight • Other

Superb view of Ambialet and its peninsula, created naturally by a meander of the Tarn, which embraces it for three kilometers. It is dominated by an old priory, perched on a shale ridge. At the level of the dam, the narrowest isthmus in Europe is located!

View of Ambialet

Highlight • Settlement

Ambialet is a magnificent peninsula hugged by a meander of the Tarn. It is dominated by an 11th century priory and the ruins of Saint-Raphaël castle built on a schist needle. A 3.5 km footpath takes you around the site.

Ambialet Isthmus and Ambialet Hydroelectric Power Plant

Highlight • Natural Monument

If the peninsulas formed by meanders are relatively common, here the isthmus which prevents the Tarn from shooting straight is only about ten meters wide, which makes it the narrowest and most spectacular of Europe. It is a safe bet that in a few millennia, erosion will eventually lead the Tarn to cross it and thus abandon its arm, as is sometimes the case (cf. Cirque de Navacelle).
This geological particularity was in any case exploited from the very beginning of the 1900s for the production of electricity with a factory with magnificent architecture that can be visited.

Ambialet Dam on the Tarn

Highlight • Monument

It's beautiful and it's atypical: everything we love! Admire the view and go to the other side on the path: beautiful view with Ambialet which is reflected in the Tarn

View of Ambialet and the Tarn River

Highlight • Viewpoint

As the road meanders it's way along the hill crest you get a great view of the peninsular of Ambialet that is formed as the Tarn river wraps itself around the rocky outcrop upon which is built the centuries-old former Franciscan Monastery.
