Gold panning initiation course

Discover the glitter of GOLD carried by our Cévennes river, "la Cèze" near SAINT AMBROIX (20 minutes from Barjac).

At the edge of the Cévennes rivers, along the water, Lucile and Aléna sift through the treasures and mysteries of the auriferous sands.
They in turn perpetuate an ancestral movement passed on to them by a pioneer in gold panning.

An atypical and yet ancestral activity, a family adventure to experiment, share and reconnect with nature...
Reservation essential .

The Sautadet waterfalls

These magnificent waterfalls are located on the road to Bagnols sur Cèze, not far from Goudargues and 800 m from La Roque sur Cèze. The Cèze has dug channels and cavities which eventually meet and form crevasses into which the river rushes. The most spectacular features are the giant pots. You will be amazed!
