Gorges du Gardon
The Gorges du Gardon form a canyon carved out by the river Gardon, a tributary of the Rhône with its source in the Cévennes. They are located in the heart of the Gard department in the Languedoc-Roussillon-Midi-Pyrénées region.
The local nature reserve of the Gorges du Gardon (RNR157) was classified as a nature reserve in 2007 and occupies an area of 491 hectares.
On 9 June 2015, the Gorges du Gardon were designated a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO, provided by the Joint Association coordonnée of the gorges du Gardon.[1]
