Raimond SpekkingLussan, Département Gard - aerial view-0194CC BY-SA 4.0

Lussan's stone houses crowd onto a rocky outcrop above the dry, scented garrigue of the northern Gard. Just outside, the little Aiguillon has cut the Concluses, a limestone gorge whose often-dry bed is pitted with pools and potholes, reached by a waymarked path.

Highlights

  • The Concluses gorge, with a viewpoint over pools carved in the riverbed
  • The village château, a listed historic monument
  • The Pierre Plantée menhir, protected since 1910
  • The Château de Fan and the Protestant temple
  • Garrigue country where the rare Egyptian vulture has nested
