A very natural creation

The Navacelles circus does not represent a site for shows, but an incredible geographical space. The creation of the Cirque de Navacelles dates back 6000 years. We owe it to the river called Vis. The Vis has for a long time flowed in the limestone plateaus of Blandas and Larzac. There will be regular erosion of the rock. This displacement of the bed of the Vis will give birth to the circus of Navacelles. It is therefore the flow of water that has modified the rock that has contributed to the formation of the cirque. In addition to the forces of nature, the action of Man through deforestation and the cultivation of the Causses is at the origin of the Cirque de Navacelles . Consequently, the circus is a meander of gorges located in the Causses de Blandas and Larzac .
